Dalma Galfi vs Anna Blinkova prediction
Dalma Galfi enters the draw as a lucky loser. She participated in qualifying, winning her first match in straight sets against Yue Yuan. Galfi would then lose her next match to Lanlana Tararudee, but she will hope to put that disappointment behind her with a win in the first-round. Her best result of the season so far is a quarter-final appearance In Oeiras.
She takes on Anna Blinkova in the first-round. It has been a sorry start to the season for the Russian, with no wins from her opening five matches. Blinkova competed at the ATX Open last week, but she was handed a tough draw in the first-round as she faced second seed Iva Jovic. She would lose her fifth straight match in straight sets, and Blinkova is now close to dropping out of the top 100 of the world rankings.
Galfi is not performing at her best level, but she will be the favourite to beat an out-of-form Blinkova when they face off.
