Caldas da Rainha, a very skilled female tennis players. Vedder Eva - a 25-year-old from the Netherlands, with only 3 ITF titles in her career, all on clay courts. Her highest ranking in her career was 209, currently at 223. She has only appeared in 4 Grand Slam tournaments and has only made it past the first round once. This season, she has defeated 5 more serious ITF level players on hard courts, currently ranked higher.
On the other side is Czech player 28-year-old Knutson Gabriela, with 6 ITF titles in her career, all on fast hard courts. She suffered an injury in late March and her results have dropped since then. Her highest ranking in her career was 155, currently at 236.
Watching this tournament, Vedder Eva's game with Cross seemed quite weak and she made quite a few mistakes. Knutson Gabriela's first round match with Spanish player Guerrero Alvarez Eva seemed more confident both in her serves and game. Perhaps Sebov will be a more serious opponent. Plus, Knutson pulled off a comeback after losing the first set, which should add some confidence.
