Anna Bondar vs Ajla Tomljanovic prediction
Anna Bondar suffered a disappointing early exit in Warsaw as she lost in the second-round of the 125k event despite being the top seed. That did follow a strong showing in Hamburg as she won four matches in total before a loss in the final to French Open semi-finalist Lois Boisson, though that was on a clay court.
She plays Ajla Tomljanovic in the first-round of Cincinnati. The Australian is without a main draw win on the tour since the first-round of the French Open and is on a three match losing streak. She ended the grass court season with first-round losses at Bad Hombug and Wimbledon, while her transition to hard court was not a successful one as she lost to Anastasija Sevastova in round one of the Canadian Open. Tomljanovic is now only just inside the top 100 of the world rankings and is not the force she once was.
Bondar leads the head-to-head 1-0, beating Tomjlanovic three years ago in the quarter-finals of the Rabat Grand Prix after the Australian had to retire at the end of the first set. We’ll give her the edge in this one against her out-of-form opponent.
