Eighth seed Anna Blinkova will take on the unseeded Sara Sorribes Tormo in the first round of the 2024 Jasmin Open. This will be their fourth career meeting and the winner will play Mayar Sherif or Jana Fett next. If you are looking to bet on the match here are some stats and a prediction.

Anna Blinkova has struggled all year and arrives for this match in a downward spiral. The Russian, who has compiled an 11-24 record, lost her last eight fixtures. The 25-year-old last won a match during the grass campaign at Bad Homburg in June.

However, as she has defeated Tormo twice in their three previous matchups, she will fancy her chances of halting this slump. Blinkova, coming off a first-round US Open exit, is placed 79th in the live ranking.

Sara Sorribes Tormo, like her opponent, isn’t coming into this clash in top form. She has so far registered a 13-22 record and only on clay has she not lost more than she has won. On hard court surfaces, the Spaniard has managed just four wins in 14 outings.

Tormo has performed a bit better in her most recent outings than Blinkova though. She has managed two victories in her last four matches. Her last win, a 2-0 success, came in the opening round at the US Open.

She would then lose in the next round by a similar margin to eventual quarter-finalist Beatriz Haddad Maia. Tormo, who is placed 114th in the live ranking, defeated Blinkova in Ostrava four seasons ago.
