Mihaela Buzarnescu
The debutant in this competition, Mihaela surprised everyone with the victory in the first round, considering that the Frenchman Alize Cornet was considered the favorite with the number 4. However, Buzarnescu imposed himself without appeal, score 6-2, 6 -4.
Thus, our conational wiped out the painful defeat in Shenzhen, where she won only 3 games in front of Russian Sharapova, being eliminated from the first round.

Anna-Lena Friedsam
With only 16 matches played in 2017 as a result of an injury, Anna came to 507 WTA at the moment, and so she got a wild card to be on the Hobart main painting.
This was a good omen for the nemtoaica, as he managed to defeat Alison Van Uytvanck in the first round, imposing himself in the decisive set.
Just like Buzarnescu, Friedsam was the first to participate in this competition.

Direct meetings
As we mentioned at the beginning of the article, the two players have not been to the front yet, so it will be very interesting to see who will succeed in the first prize and who will anticipate the blows of the other opponent.
My tip Mihaela Buzarnescu – Anna-Lena Friedsam
Leaving aside subjectivism and patriotism, I decided to rely on Mihaela Buzarnescu’s victory in the finals, because the player is getting better in pace and with more games in the last period, especially at a high level.
Friedsam has come to play in the ITF tournaments to head back to the top 100 WTA, but those matches do not compare to those in the WTA tournaments and I do not think he will be able to cope with a new Hobart match.
Buzarnescu is the most restful player, having to spend less than an hour on the field in the first round, compared to the nemtoaica, whose victory ended after a long match that exceeded the threshold of 2 hours, and Mihaela will take advantage of this and will make points much easier.
