MATCH POINTS

World No.2 Simona Halep returns to the tour on Tuesday at the Prague Open. The Romanian has won seven of her 20 career WTA singles titles on clay, including her first Grand Slam singles title at Roland Garros in 2018.

Halep's first-round opponent, Polona Hercog, also excels on clay. All six of the Slovenian's tour-level finals have come on clay, including title runs at 2011 and 2012 Bastad and 2019 Lugano.

Hercog beat Halep in their first meeting, which came in Sofia in 2009. They did not meet again until a decade later, when Halep notched two wins over Hercog last year, in Miami and Eastbourne.

Only one main-draw singles match was completed on Monday before rain washed out the rest of the day's play: wildcard Eugenie Bouchard upset No.8 seed Veronika Kudermetova, 6-0, 6-3. Bouchard, the former World No.5 and 2014 Wimbledon finalist, improved her head-to-head record against Kudermetova to 2-0.

No.2 seed Petra Martic faces Varvara Gracheva in the first round on Tuesday. Martic is back up to her career-high ranking of World No.14 following her semifinal showing at the Palermo Ladies Open last week.

Kristyna Pliskova and Linda Fruhvirtova will continue their first-round singles match on Tuesday, with Pliskova up a break in the first set at 3-2. 

Fruhvirtova is making her main draw debut in Prague this week at 15 years, 105 days old. She is the third-youngest player to play at the Prague event, behind only her opponent Pliskova and her twin sister Karolina, who made their debuts in 2007 at 15 years, 53 days old. 

Pliskova is the only former finalist in the Prague field, having reached the championship match in 2017, beating Jelena Jankovic and Jelena Ostapenko on the way. Pliskova fell to Mona Barthel in the final that season.
