Barbora Krejcikova and Dominika Salkova meet in the quarterfinal at Livesport Prague Open on Friday. Barbora Krejcikova has won 8 of the last 10. Dominika Salkova has won 6 of the last 10.
This is the first career meeting between the two, which means no head-to-head baggage on either side of the net.
The serve is where this match separates: Krejcikova has been winning 65.8% of first-serve points to Salkova's 60.7%, and on clay that gap compounds fast. Anything other than a Krejcikova win would rank among the bigger surprises of the week.
