Leoni Kung and Natalia Vihlantseva jointly identified.
In the upcoming tennis tournament in Palermo, Italy, two players with a recent string of losses will be going head-to-head. German player Leonie Kung and Russian player Natalia Vikhlyantseva are set to compete against each other, marking their first encounter.
Leonie Kung, currently ranked 157th in the WTA rankings, has had a challenging spring. She lost an astonishing nine matches in a row, a setback that has undoubtedly shaken her confidence. However, Kung's resilience was evident in the first round of the season, where she reached the quarterfinals at the Andrezieux-Boutheon futures tournament.
On the other hand, Vikhlyantseva, ranked 175th, has also been grappling with losses. Her recent performance includes a quarterfinal appearance in Lausanne, Switzerland, where she was defeated by Belgian player Marina Zanevska (7-5, 6-4). Earlier in the year, Vikhlyantseva faced multiple losses.
Despite their recent struggles, both players are eager to turn things around. Vikhlyantseva, in particular, sees this match as an opportunity to strengthen her position in the division. In the last tournament, she played better and won with a 2-game advantage.
The match between Kung and Vikhlyantseva will start at 11:00 AM (Moscow time) in Palermo. Betting odds for Vikhlyantseva to win with a 2-game advantage are 1.63 on 1xStavka.
As for the tennis player with the most wins in the last season and their current position in the WTA rankings, the data is not conclusive. While Laura Siegemund reached a ranking of 26 in January 2024, the specific number of her wins last season and her current rank are not detailed. The record information focuses mostly on male players and wheelchair tennis, making it difficult to determine the most winning female player of the last season and their exact WTA ranking as of September 2025.
Regardless of their past performances and rankings, both Kung and Vikhlyantseva will be giving their all in the upcoming match. The tennis world will be watching as they strive to turn their seasons around in Palermo.
