Caty McNally vs Katie Volynets prediction
Caty McNally looked on course for a scalp last week at the Open de Rouen, as she comfortably took the first set against top seed Marta Kostyuk in the second-round. However, the Ukrainian would come back to win in three. McNally has struggled for consistency this season, having lost 10 of her 19 matches so far.
Katie Volynets is a qualifier in Madrid, after three set wins over Oceane Dodin and Tamara Korpatsch. Her best result of the season was a semi-final appearance in Ostrava, but she has also been on the end of six first-round defeats.
McNally completely dominates the head-to-head, leading 5-0. They played each other just last week in Rouen, with McNally recovering from a poor start to win 1-6 6-1 6-1. The history between the pair gives her the edge, as she holds a significant psychological advantage. It’s up to Volynets to end the losing run and win her first match at the sixth attempt.
