Antonia Ruzic vs Kamilla Rakhimova prediction

Antonia Ruzic is still waiting for her clay-swing to come to life.

The Croatian hit a career high of 51 back in February but has managed just one lower tier win on the dirt recently and is now down at 59.

That said, the 23-year-old knows a victory here would see he secure a best ever ninth tour-level win in a season and Uzbekistan’s Kamilla Rakhimova has also lacked consistency.

It has the feel of a topsy-turvy tussle and it may go three but we think Ruzic may have the edge over the world number 76 in the end.

Antonia Ruzic vs Kamilla Rakhimova tip: Over 2.5 sets
