Elizabeth Mandlik vs Laura Pigossi prediction
Elizabeth Mandlik will bid to end a five-match losing streak in Sao Paolo.
The world number 223 has struggled for form of late and had yet to win a tour-level match this year.
The American will hope to change that against Laura Pigossi, who is ranked 117 places above her, but who she has had success against in the past.
This is their fifth encounter, but a first away from clay, with the head-to-head level at 2-2.
Pigossi won their most recent clash 6-4 6-0 last year in Colina and we expect it to be a similar story here.
The Brazilian has won two tour-level matches this year with one coming in Guadalajara last week, so she should have far more confidence than her opponent.
