Fresh off bagging the WTA 125 Guadalajara tiff, Kamilla Rakhimova will set her sights on another title, starting her Guadalajara Open campaign against Aleksandra Krunic. Rakhimova looks to carry over the momentum from her fantastic run at WTA 125 Guadalajara into this WTA 500 tournament, which features several prominent names in women’s tennis, such as Jalene Ostapenko, Danielle Collins, and Victoria Azarenka. After rattling off four consecutive straight-set victories, the 23-year-old Russian defeated former Wimbledon Open semifinalist Tatjana Maria in a three-set showdown for the WTA 125 crown. Aleksandra Krunic also competed at Guadalajara 125, but she only made it to the second round before Rebecca Marino booted her out in straight sets 3-6 6-3 6-4. The 31-year-old Serbian has been a veteran on the WTA tour for over a decade, having started her professional career in 2009. She has defeated several top-tier players, such as Petra Kvitova, Jelena Ostapenka, and Gabine Muguruza.
