Anhelina Kalinina vs Donna Vekic prediction
Donna Vekic scored the ranking upset to suggest an upturn in form may be on the cards.
The Croatian beat fellow qualifier Katie Volynets 6-3 3-6 6-4 to make it six wins from seven since transitioning to clay (including qualifiers).
The world number 104 now meets another outsider in the shape of lucky loser, Anhelina Kalinina.
The Ukrainian world number 120 upset an overworked Panna Udvardy 5-7 6-1 6-0 to make the most of her reprieve and tee up a maiden encounter with Vekic.
Kalinina has been imperious on the dirt at lower tier, so this is going to be an interesting one.
It’s worth remembering Vekic is an Olympic silver medallist on clay, so she won’t be easily ousted, but we do think there’s potential for an upset or at least it going three.
Anhelina Kalinina vs Donna Vekic tip: Over 2.5 sets
