Elisabetta Cocciaretto is the youngest player in the main draw. The wildcard was 19, born on January 25, 2011.
Donna Vekic’s only previous experience of playing Arantxa Rus is on the ITF circuit. She won their sole previous match-up, 6-0, 4-6, 6-1.
Ekaterina Alexandrova, who beat Kristina Mladenovic when they met in Linz last year, had a 3-4 record on clay in 2019, with two of those victories coming at the French Open.
Mladenovic is seeking her first singles win on Tour in 2020, having lost at the first hurdle in both the Australian Open then in St Petersburg.
Maria Sakkari’s only previous meeting with Kristyna Pliskova came on Wimbledon’s grass in 2017. The Greek was ranked outside the Top 100 at the time and caused an upset with a 6-7(6), 6-4, 6-4 win.
Although No.3 seed Sakkari has a 7-4 record in 2020; all of her losses have come against Top 25 opponents in three sets.
Pliskova is third among all players in serving aces in 2020, with 80 in her seven main draw matches.
