Bucharest 2019: Monday's Order of Play and Match Points

MATCH POINTS
In a clash of rising young Slovenian talent, No.4 seed Tamara Zidansek
No.2 seed Viktoria Kuzmova leads the head-to-head with Dalila Jakupovic 2-1, having won their two most recent meetings in Wimbledon qualifying in 2017 and in the Shenzhen ITF W60 event last year. However, the Slovenian won their only previous clay encounter, in the quarterfinals of the ITF W25 event in Bad Saulgau in 2016. Both come into Bucharest seeking to snap losing streaks: Kuzmova went 0-3 in the grass season after reaching her first Grand Slam third round at Roland Garros, while Jakupovic is on a seven-match losing streak stretching back to May (and is just 2-12 in WTA main draws this year).
