The pressure will be on Marketa Vondrousova when she plays Olga Danilovic in the United Cup. The Wimbledon champion is representing the Czech Republic against Serbia in this final match in Group E. Currently top of the group are China who have beaten the Czechs 3-0 but lost to Serbia (who have Novak Djokovic in their team) 2-1. For the Czech Republic to have any chance of qualifying for the last eight they need to beat Serbia and win as many sets in the three matches as possible. Marketa Vondrousova played Zheng Qinwen in her women's singles match against China. After losing the first set, Vondrousova only dropped one game in the second but won just one in the decider. Vondrousova began this hard court tournament ranked seventh in the world but had a disappointing end to a memorable year losing her last six matches of the 2023 season, though half were against top ten ranked players.

Olga Danilovic was ranked 121st in the world when this United Cup began. In her one match played so far, Danilovic was beaten in straight sets by Zheng Qinwen winning only six games. The Serb was a career high 93rd in June 2023 and that was her first match since losing in the first qualifying round of the US Open to a player ranked outside the top 200. Her last win was in July when winning a WTA 125 tournament but that was on clay. We go for Vondrousova to get a win here.
