Cristina Bucsa vs Darja Vidmanova prediction

Cristina Bucsa overcame Anna Bondar in two sets to book her place in the round of 16 having been absolutely clinical on serve. An over 80% win rate on her first serve and 75% on the second serve underlined her control with just one break point given up to Bondar. If Bucsa plays like this again on her first service game then Darja Vidmanova has her work cut out.

The 23-year-old was outplayed by Bucsa at Indian Wells earlier this year, wasting ten of 11 break opportunities to ultimately lose in straight sets, with Bucsa winning 6-4, 6-0. It’s easy to see Bucsa pulling away again if she can force an early lead in this rematch and with Vidmanova being inconsistent and lacking clutch play under pressure, the sensible move is to back another Bucsa victory.
