Danka Kovinic v Françoise Abanda Head to Head
The pair have never played each other before. This will be the first match between the 26-year old Montenegrin, and the Canadian, who is two years younger.

Kovinic Looking for Form Ahead of US Open
Kovinic has reached three senior WTA finals, losing all of them, most recently the Charleston Open earlier this year, when she was beaten by Veronika Kudermetova of Russia.
That was her first final in almost five years and represented something of a return to form for the Montenegrin number one, after several years in the doldrums.
She is using this tournament as a warm-up for next week’s US Open, where she has reached the second round twice, including last year.
The 26-year old lost in the first round of an ITF event in Chicago last week to Hailey Baptiste of the USA, the world 181, and will be looking to improve on that record against Abanda.

Wildcard Playing Only Her Second Match since March Last Year
Abanda has been given a wildcard into the main draw in Chicago.
Four years ago she looked like she might break into the top echelons of players, having reached 117 in the world, but since reaching her first WTA quarter-final that year, and reaching the second round at the French Open and Wimbledon, her career has been in steady decline since then, although a long injury lay-off has also hindered her progress..
Nowadays she spends her time almost exclusively on the ITF circuit, where she has won two singles and one doubles titles, although it has been five years since the last of those successes.
This is only her second match in 17 months. Her comeback at qualifying for the Canadian Open ended in a straight sets defeat to Caroline Garcia of France.
Kovinic v Abanda Prediction and Tip
Kovinic will start the heavy favourite against a woman playing only her second match since last March.
Tip: Kovinic to win: 4/9 (Click Here to Bet with bet365)
