Veronika Kudermetova
Russian FederationCurrent form
Since the beginning of the season, Kudermetova has gradually, it seems, gained game form. In any case, her results are now better than they were last year. In Hobart, Veronika made it to the quarterfinals. At the Australian Open, she more than confidently and with class beat Gadecki in the first round (6-1, 6-1).
Professional qualities
Veronica has a rich technical arsenal and excellent technique, worked out to the smallest detail. At the same time, it is often the desire to play strictly according to the developed plan that prevents her from achieving success, since it is not easy to change tactics during matches, to adapt to opponents.
Current indicators in the tour
At the moment, Kudermetova occupies a modest 75th place in the world ranking. Let us recall that at one time she was the world tenth racket. In Melbourne a year ago, Veronika put away her racket in the first round and now has the opportunity to replenish her point reserve.

Katie Boulter
Great BritainCurrent form
Boulter showed herself well at the United Cup team competition at the beginning of the season, where she confidently dealt with Podoroska and Gadecki and lost to Swiatek in three sets in a close fight (7-6, 1-6, 4-6). The start in Melbourne was not easy for Katie – it was difficult to snatch a victory from the not very formidable and rather straightforward Marino (6-4, 3-6, 7-5).
