The two players faced each other only once, with Viktoriya Tomova beating Aryna Sabalenka at the tournament in Budapest in 2016.
If Aryna Sabalenka succeeded against Viktoriya Tomova this time, she will next play either Poland’s world number 27 Magdalena Fręch or Romania’s world number 102 Elena-Gabriela Ruse.
