This is a quarterfinal, match from the Antalya 12 ITF between Doroteja Eric from Serbia and Ayla Aksu from Turkey.
I am a bit surprised that Ayla Aksu is such a big underdog in this one. Sure she is the lower ranked player but she actually performed very well this year and considering the way she played in the two matches she had here I would have given her much more credit. Aksu defeated Topsel 6-1, 6-4 in the first round which was a pretty standard win for her against a weaker opponent. In the second round though it was a completely different story as she eliminated Barbara Haas the nr.2 seed here and the finalist of the Antalya 11 ITF tournament that was last week.
Aksu to me looks very motivated to win this tournament and even though Eric is going to be a hard opponent I think she can defeat her if she plays like she did against Haas.
I think this might end up being a 3 set match and with all sets being very close. That being said I think that Aksu will be more motivated to do well here in her home country and along with the crowd support I expect her to continue her good journey and advance to the semifinals.
