Darja Semenistaja vs Sinja Kraus prediction
Darja Semenistaja enters the tournament looking to arrest a slide in form. The 23-year-old has historically shown strong signs on clay, but her results this month has been poor. She suffered a first-round exit at the Nordea Open to Leyre Romero Gormaz and was most recently soundly defeated by Julia Riera in the opening round of an ITF event in Rome.
Sinja Kraus comes into Hamburg playing some of the most inspired tennis of her career, freshly ranked at a career-high number 80 in the world. The 24-year-old Austrian is riding a massive wave of momentum after storming her way to the WTA 125 singles title in Kitzbuhel. Her dominant run included straight set wins over Erika Andreeva and Julia Grabher. Kraus also boasts a perfect 2-0 head-to-head record against Semenistaja, including a comfortable 6-3 6-2 win on clay earlier this season in Oeiras.
Considering Kraus’ fine form and her positive record against Semenistaja, she will be the clear favourite for this one.
