Elena Pridankina vs Oleksandra Oliynykova prediction

Oleksandra Oliynykova has shown enough quality over the course of this season so far to be a potential contender for titles moving forwards. Whether she can sustain this high level of tennis is questionable but right now, the Ukrainian is impressing hugely and has been dealt a very kind draw here against a player who is currently ranked outside of the top 200.

Elena Pridankina has the odds stacked against her but after making it through qualifying, she’s won’t fear her opponent. It is a huge occasion for Pridankina though and she’ll be taking on a player at the top of her game right now and it’s difficult to see her being able to match a very impressive clay court player like Oliynykova, so back a straight sets triumph for the favourite.
