Daria Kasatkina vs Zeynep Sonmez prediction
Zeynep Sonmez will be full of confidence heading into the French Open.
The Turkish star is operating at a career high just inside the top 60 and is already on the verge of bagging an 11th win of the season, which would be her best ever tally with several months still to come.
Sonmez has ticked off wins across a number of clay tournaments without going deep but will relish the challenge of a maiden meeting with Daria Kasatkina.
The Aussie sits three places below the Turk in the rankings but recently won the Vic 125 on clay and also pushed to the last eight in Strasbourg.
When on song, Daria is a menace for the best and both of these are happy to battle, which makes this a potentially lengthy tussle.
Daria Kasatkina vs Zeynep Sonmez tip: Over 2.5 sets
