Head to heads are 1-1. The most recent match was in January last season. Pliskova won in 3 sets on a hard court. Azarenka’s win was in 2008.
Azarenka has lost just 1 from 16 hard court matches this year. She has dropped just 1 set in this tournament which was to Stosur. Rybarikova didn’t win a game in their quarter final.
Pliskova dropped her only set to Konta. She ended Kasatkina’s excellent run in the last round.
It wouldn’t a huge surprise for Pliskova to take a set though Azarenka in straight sets seems most likely.
Back Azarenka if she is broken first.
