Whoever succeeds in obtaining the qualification in the next phase will be the opponent of the winner of the dispute between Alexandrov and Keys. Also, in the second round, he guarantees a check of $ 113,000 and 130 WTA points. You can find this match in the offer of this bookmaker.

Ana Bogdan
Even if she faced the 11th place in the WTA standings (Kristina Mladenovic), our conational team managed to impose itself in the minimum set, winning one of the most important career victories.
Thus, thanks to these victories, Ana qualified for the first time in the second round at the Australian Open, being only on the third prize.

Yulia Putintseva
Even if she was considered outsider by bookmakers in the first round, Yulia Putintseva made a surprise to Heather Watson and was forced after a balanced match with the 7-5, 7-6 score.
Unlike Bogdan, the Kazakh player has participated several times at the Australian Open (5 participations), the best result being obtained in 2016 when he stopped in the third round.

Direct meetings
The second round of the AO will be the first direct encounter between the two players, so it will be very interesting to see who will make it to the start.
