Dominika Salkova vs Alevtina Ibragimova prediction

Dominika Salkova will hope her long spell on clay will pay dividends in Romania.

The Czech played just one match on grass in recent weeks and has been competing on the dirt almost exclusively since February. 

The 22-year-old will now meet qualifier Alevtina Ibragimova for the first time with the 21-year-old Russian also productive on the surface, although the world number 275’s tour-level experience is limited.

Salkova has the edge there and is 148 places better off on the WTA ladder, so that may well be the telling difference.
