Alina Charaeva vs Sinja Kraus prediction
Alina Charaeva outlasted Sara Sorribes in three sets to book her place in the round-of-16 at the Hamburg Open. She struggled at times on serve, committing eight double faults, but raised her level in the deciding set to win 3-6 7-5 6-1. Remarkably, there were 18 breaks of serve throughout the entirety of the match.
She will face Sinja Kraus for a place in the last eight. Kraus, who won the KTC Ladies Open last week, extended her winning run to six matches as she came from a set down to beat Darja Semenistaja. The Austrian converted eight out of 13 break point opportunities as she won 3-6 6-3 6-2. She has now won all three of her meeting against Semenistaja.
Charaeva displayed brilliant fighting spirit in her previous match, but she cannot afford a similarly poor serving performance against Kraus. The eighth seed will be confident after her recent winning run and she is likely to create numerous opportunities with her efficient return game.
Alina Charaeva vs Sinja Kraus tip: Sinja Kraus to win 2-0
