Background

Magdalena Fręch, the fifth seed in this tournament, began her campaign with a 6-2, 6-4 win over qualifier Yuliia Starodubtseva. Fręch has achieved a career-high singles ranking of world No. 22 and won her first WTA 500 title in Guadalajara in 2024. (en.wikipedia.org)

This match marks the first meeting between Williams and Fręch.

Considerations

Williams' recent return to the tour and her performance against a top-40 player indicate a competitive form. However, Fręch's consistent performance and higher current ranking may influence the match's outcome. Bettors should consider Williams' experience and recent momentum against Fręch's steady rise and recent successes.
