Korpatsch vs Govortsova: who will be stronger?

Since the beginning of the year Tamara Korpatsch won only four matches and was defeated 10 times. German player has recorded only two victories in the main draw of WTA tournaments. It happened at home competitions at Hamburg and at Bad Homburg.

In the previous week Korpatsch participated on Budapest tournament. In the start of that tournament Tamara failed to put up a fight against Olga Danilovic (2:6, 2:6).

An experienced Belarusian player Olga Govortsova also couldn't find her game in the start of the season. On first eight tournaments Olga failed to win a single match on the main draw.

Govortsova started to play better after a transition to clay. In Bastad, Sweden two weeks ago Belarus representative managed to reach the final. She couldn't win a title though, because she lost the title match to Parrizas Dias (2:6, 2:6). Nonetheless, it was a successful tournament for Olga. She was too tired after that competition, so she failed to put up a good performance in Lausanne. In the first round of that tournament Govortsova was defeated by Blinkova (6:2, 4:6, 2:6).
