Laura Siegemund and fellow unseeded player Rebecca Sramkova will contest the 2024 Thailand Open 2 final. The early Sunday match will be their first career meeting. Below are the stats leading up to this encounter and our prediction.

Siegemund is targeting a first tour success since 2017, when she won the title in Stuttgart. She had a chance to add to her accolades last year in Poland but lost her first final on hardcourt.

To progress to this match, Siegemund, who has advanced past the quarter-final stage for the first time this season, defeated Arianne Hartono. She won in straight sets of 6-3, 6-3. It was the third time this week that she had won in straight sets.

The win improved her season record to 23-16 and propelled her 31 places in the live ranking to 68th.

Rebecca Sramkova is having a spectacular month and arrives for this match with the best streak. The Slovak has eight wins in the nine matches she played in September. This has resulted in back-to-back tour finals.

Sramkova finished as runner-up in Monastir before arriving in Hua Hin. As she is back again at a final, she will be eager to top this purple patch with a title. The 27-year-old defeated Tamara Zidansek in straight sets in the semi-finals by the loss of six games.

The win was her 34th of a season that has seen her claim one ITF title. Advancing to the final has seen Sramkova set a new career-high world ranking. She is now placed 89th in the live ranking after making a 26-place leap.
