Varvara Gracheva is no. 103 in the rankings, coming onsite as a qualifier on the wings of great form. This French registered player had a win-loss record of 18-19-2025, having entered into the first quarterfinal of her career at a WTA 1000 in Cincinnati. She defeated Ella Seidel 2-6, 6-1, 6-1 in the round of 16 after earlier wins against Karolina Muchova, Sofia Kenin, and Katie Volynets. It was her maiden hardcourt win over a top-20 player and surely cemented her growing tactical maturity. Gracheva sprang into a career high at No. 39 in January 2024 and, after switching nationality in 2023, represents France. Positive social media posts have been made about her, and on-court interviews do praise her athleticism for forehand and calmness. Minor adjustments to serve placement and patient returning turned tight situations in her favor. This should probably be the toughest test yet against the barrage of Kudermetova's hit and experience.
🇷🇺 Veronika Kudermetova
Veronika Kudermetova is a more established name than her rival, being No. 36 in the WTA singles rankings. The 28-year-old Russian has been steady during the hard court swing and registered multiple Top 20 wins in 2025. She reached the quarterfinals in Cincinnati, defeating Magda Linette by 6-4, 6-3, and before that, she survived a three-set encounter against Clara Tauson. Kudermetova is a genuine all-court player with a stronger serve of late and with a solid doubles background to boot, having won the Wimbledon women’s doubles championship with Elise Mertens in July 2025, which underlines her comfort at the net. Her WTA profile states a career high of No. 9 at singles and consistent showings at WTA 1000 level. She is listed by bookmakers as the favorite for Friday's Grandstand quarterfinal, and the implied odds suggest about a two-thirds chance of winning. Experience closing out matches, plus a doubles Grand Slam in 2025, makes her extremely dangerous on the fast Cincinnati hard courts.
