Kiki Bertens faces Roland Garros in the second round on Wednesday against Viktória Kuzmová, a player she met twice this year. The Dutch is wary of the number 46 in the world.

"Kuzmová is an up-and-coming, talented player with an aggressive game," Bertens describes her 21-year-old Slovakian opponent.

The global number four played against Kuzmová in Dubai in February and then lost 6-2, 4-6 and 7-6 (6) after missing one game point. A month later Bertens took revenge in Miami: 3-6, 6-0 and 6-1.

"I have played two very tough matches against her, so I expect another difficult game," said Westlandse, who occupies fourth place in the world ranking.

"She has a big game and is a tough opponent for me. She has already won here from a French player, who is always doing well here (Alizé Cornet, ed.). where she lost to Simona Halep. "
