Katie Voynets vs Tamara Zidansek preview
Second-seeded Katie Volynets will take on Tamara Zidansek of Slovenia in the second round of the 2025 Oeiras Ladies Open. Volynets started the year with a quarterfinal run at the ASB Classic, losing 1-6, 4-6 against compatriot Alycia Parks. Since then, the American's form has declined considerably, as she could only win two of her next ten main draw matches at the Tour level.
