One of the six romanians present on the Australian Open, Ana Bogdan, has at first sight a winning match, meeting Frenchman Kristina Mladenovic. The odds offered by bookmakers are very close, so it will be a match worth watching. The two players will be settling for a place on the second round and implicitly for a check of $ 62,000 and 70 WTA points. In the second round, the one that will be imposed will be the opponent of the winner of the match between Yulia Putintseva and Heather Watson.

Kristina Mladenovic
10 times he has previously participated in the Grand Slam at the French Grand Prix, but he has not achieved any remarkable results, given that the third round (2016) is the stage where he has reached the most.
Last year, Ana Konjuh did not give her a chance in the first round and eliminated it with the score of 6-1, 6-3.
Kiki has a very weak start to the game, losing both sides so far (in Brisbane and Sydney), and so continued the weak form shown at the end of 2017, her last victory being won in August 2017 in Washington.
Ana Bogdan
On the 107th WTA spot, Ana grabbed one of the last places on the Australian Open main board and did not have to play in qualifying, just as she did in the previous two matches.
In 2017, the Romanian managed to pass the qualifiers, but Elena Vesnina was a “nut” too hard for our conational player and so the Russians were forced to score 7-5, 6-2.
As well as his opponent in the first round of this year, Bogdan did not start the year too great, winning a single match of the three disputed confrontations.
Direct meetings
The Australian Open first-round match will be the second straight match between the two players, the first being won by the Frenchman in 2015 in Moscow (hard indoor) with the score of 7-6, 6-3.

Forecasting Kristina Mladenovic – Ana Bogdan
Although the Frenchman has not won a match for more than 4 months, I think the experience will say the word in this match and Kristina will motivate enough to succeed at least the first round.
It is clear that Mladenovic is not going through the best of his career, but I think he is aware of this, but also because he has had enough luck in the draw and I’m sure he will take advantage of it and will succeed impose.
The odds of winning the Frenchman is an excellent one that deserves to be attacked, especially since Ana has not played, has not impressed her lately and misses the important matches in the WTA tournaments, where Kiki has spent many years.
