In the second round of the Challenger in Limoges, Clara Burel and Erika Andreeva will play against each other. It will be the girls’ second head-to-head encounter. Burel shot her way to the top last year, making a splash on clay courts and indoors. This season, the Frenchwoman has slowed down, she has had injuries, so Clara is outside the top 100. Andreeva is younger and less experienced, but the Russian is now in top form. The match will start on December 13 at 16:30.

It’s hard to judge how ready Andreeva is to prove herself in Limoges, but Erika hasn’t had a full game practice for a long time. Her opponent traditionally tries to play at her best at home tournaments. We think Burel will have a better chance to win today.
There is no significant difference in class between the two opponents, so you can count on an easy win. That said, in four of Burel’s last six matches, three sets have been played, something we can’t rule out today in Limoges as well.
Clara Burel is trying to play her final home tournaments of the season at a high level to get as close as possible to a return to the top 100. The Frenchwoman is currently ranked 126th in the world.
In Angers, Clara had a quarter-final appearance last week. In Limoges, she started with a fairly easy win over Nefisa Berberovic (6-4, 6-2).

Erika Andreeva has adapted to the adult tour and aims to break into the top 100 tennis players in the world. The young Russian is now ranked 136th.
Erika has had a long break from playing. She did not play on tour in November, but was training and preparing for games in France in the local Championships.
