Anna Blinkova vs Taylah Preston prediction

Anna Blinkova will be a relatively big name in danger in the first round in Nottingham.

The former world number 35 has won just three tour-level matches this year and faces a 20-year-old Aussie on the rise.

Taylah reached the last eight at the Birmingham 125 and has the attacking game to cause problems, particularly considering how uncomfortable Blinkova looked in her heavy loss to Emma Raducanu at Queen’s last time out.
