Lucie Klimovicova of Poland enters the Birmingham grass-court tournament ranked 156th globally. The Polish player has shown mixed recent form, with wins against Yuan and Barthel offset by losses to Ferro and Oliynykova in her last five matches. This marks Klimovicova's first career meeting with Martincova, with no previous head-to-head record between the two players. On grass, Klimovicova will look to build consistency after her recent struggles on the surface.

Tereza Martincova of Czech Republic arrives at Birmingham ranked 248th in the world. The Czech competitor has limited recent match activity, with a loss to Fruhvirtova contrasted by a competitive three-set win over Shinikova. Martincova faces Klimovicova in their first-ever encounter, giving both players an open contest with no established patterns. Grass is a less familiar surface for Martincova, who will need to adjust quickly in this matchup.
