Friedsam Bringing Momentum From Angers Semifinal
Anna Lena Friedsam arrives in Limoges with real momentum after a strong semifinal run in Angers, where she pushed deep into the draw before falling to Tamara Korpatsch, 6 3 6 4.
That performance fits the pattern of her season. She missed most of 2024 with injury and started this year outside the top 500, but steady week to week progress has carried her back into the top 200 and produced 10 quarterfinal or better results, including four at the 125k tier.
This will be her third outing in Limoges. She made the quarterfinal on debut in 2015 and returned in 2022, where she exited in the opening round.
With confidence restored and recent match sharpness behind her, she is well placed to make another push this week.

- Current rank: 137
- Career high rank: 112

- Season record: 35-28
- Hardcourt record in 2025: 7-12
Kawa Looking to Recover From Extended Dip in Results
Katarzyna Kawa returned to competition last week in ITF Dubai after a month away, but her comeback never got going.
She was outplayed in a 6 2 6 2 first round loss to Vendula Valdmannova, struggling to hold serve and giving up six breaks in a match that offered very few positives.
The 33 year old has been in a deep slump for several months. Across her last five months on tour she has managed only two main draw wins, a sharp drop from the player who opened the season by reaching the Bogotá WTA final and pushing for a career high ranking.
Hard courts have been the biggest problem area. Kawa has entered 12 events on this surface in 2025 and nine of them ended in either the opening round or in qualifying.
With her form sliding and her hard court numbers trending poorly, she faces another difficult matchup here.
Verdict
Katarzyna Kawa’s sustained dip in form, combined with her ongoing struggles on hard courts, puts her at a clear disadvantage here. With Anna-Lena Friedsam already holding a 2 0 head to head lead, the German is well placed to extend that record to 3 0 in this matchup.
Anna-Lena Friedsam 2-0
