Tatarus is a local player, 17 years old, and came here thanks to an invite. She was never even top 600 in the junior competition, she's actually out of top 1200 now. She didn't beat a top 700 player this year. She did won a few sets in her last matches, but she lost them, and none of those opponents were in the top 500. The only top 500 she played his year was Moratelli (449th). Tatarus won three games, and six against Gavrila who's out of top 1100. Kostova is definitely a favorite today, would've been an even bigger one if she didn't have the Budapest tournament. Kostova won an ITF clay court tournament there yesterday, beating Cadanta, Karatantcheva, Tomova in the final, and the only match where she was a real favorite, she's won 6-1 6-1, and that was Gorgodza who's a top 300, holding the best ranking of her career. Only the fact that this is Kostova's fifth match in as many days, she had to travel from Budapest to get here could stop her from winning today. But, considering the difference in quality between these two, that can hardly be a factor. Kostova's got three WTA tournament wins, Roland Garros and Wimbledon qualifiers, she played Nurnberg, which is a WTA level. The difference in quality is just too big.
