Clara Tauson vs Veronika Kudermetova prediction

After an excellent run at the Canadian Open, Clara Tauson showed some signs of fatigue in her Cincinnati opener against Ajla Tomljanovic but she eventually came out on top 6-4 in the third set, continuing the form which has seen her rise to a career-high of 15 in the world.

The Dane reached the semi-finals in Montreal, notably recording straight-sets wins over Iga Swiatek and Madison Keys along the way, and she is hitting the ball extremely well right now.

Veronika Kudermetova has equalled her run to the third round of the Canadian Open by reaching the same stage in Cincinnati, following her first-round victory over Suzan Lamens with a straight-sets triumph over Belinda Bencic during which she clinically converted four of her five break point opportunities.

In what is a first career meeting between the two, we’re backing in-form Tauson to prevail. Kudermetova is a tough opponent that won’t go down easily, but Tauson is playing full of confidence right now and we feel she has the edge here.
