Elena-Gabriela Ruse vs Mccartney Kessler prediction

Elena-Gabriela Ruse will have her eyes on an upset when she faces off with Mccartney Kessler.

The Romanian, ranked at 85 in the world, will be seen as the underdog against the American but will be buoyed by a run to the semi-final in Rouen and a surge from qualifying to the second round in Rome. 

In contrast, world number 44 Kessler has never won a main draw match on the main circuit on clay and could well be vulnerable against an opponent who is statistically at her best on the surface.
