Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova vs Sofia Kenin prediction
Sofia Kenin will feel she has the greater form on clay when she takes on Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova.
The American didn’t make any impression in Madrid but did reach the final in Charleston, while Pavlyuchenkova had endured a four-match losing streak prior to beating Britain’s Katie Boulter in the first round.
Kenin leads the head-to-head 2-1 but her victories were six years ago, with the veteran Russian prevailing earlier this year in Abu Dhabi.
If Pavlyuchenkova keeps her rhythm she could be very dangerous and not many will be that surprised if it goes to a decider.
Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova vs Sofia Kenin tip: Over 2.5 sets
