WTA Seoul Day 3 Predictions Including Alexandrova vs Han

Kimberly Birrell takes on Tatjana Maria in the WTA Seoul Open on Day 3. Alexandrova takes part in a match against Han.

Birrell has been a forgotten story of Australian tennis in the past 12 months. She hit rock bottom at the turn of the year, but she's climbing up the rankings. Birrell will return to the world’s top 300 next week.

Zhu Lin won the WTA Seoul tournament last year. She has a good chance to defend her title this time. Lin has beaten Ankita Raina four times in five meetings on the ITF tour.

Linette lost to Linda Fruhvirtova in the Chennai final. She has a couple of days to recover from that loss. Hartono has not won a main draw match in three months. Polish No. 2 player is expected to advance.

Alexandrova beat Asia Muhammad in straight sets. She has a second-round match against South Korea’s Han Na-lae. The highest-ranked player she could face before the final is world No.84 Varvara Gracheva.
