Both Slovenian players, Ghana and Zidansek, are very good at playing on clay courts. Tamara Zidansek, 28 years old, is talented on this surface, even reaching the semifinals of Roland Garros in 2022. However, she has been plagued with various injuries since around 2023, and although she may still be able to play in challenger or ITF tournaments until the semifinals or finals, her strength is lacking in the final stages. Zidansek has also dropped to the 148th position in the WTA rankings.
On the other hand, Erjevec's results this season have not been impressive, but she is able to play on lower level clay courts.
The key factors here are that Zidansek has won her last three matches after three sets and I don't think she will lose easily. Another factor is that Zidansek has won their last two head-to-head matches this year, both on clay. She also had a tight three-set match against her last week in Antalya, losing the final set in a tiebreaker. So, I don't think she is in a better moment right now.
