Cristina Bucsa vs Polina Kudermetova prediction

Cristina Bucsa will hope it’s a case of lucky number seven in Washington.

The Spaniard has lost her last six matches and will feel the pressure as the rankings favourite against world number 108, Polina Kudermetova.

World number 40 Bucsa does tend to prefer hardcourts and although Polina was sharp in qualifying, she has just two tour-level wins this year.
