Alexandra Eala vs Magdalena Frech prediction

Alexandra Eala could be vulnerable against Magdalena Frech in Rome.

The Filipina is statistically weaker on clay and has just two wins on the surface so far this year.

World number 45 Frech is just three places below Eala in the rankings but has not won since losing in the final in Merida.

The Pole also seems to prefer a hardcourt and is searching for form on the dirt after losing her last five matches in a row.

It could come down to confidence in this maiden tussle between the two and Eala may just have the edge in terms of that.
