Ella Seidel vs Jaqueline Cristian prediction

Ella Seidel picked up her first main draw win since her opening match of 2026 in Dubai.

The German posted a dominant 6-1 6-4 victory over Cristina Bucsa to make it three straight wins from qualifying. 

The world number 95 will now tackle Jaqueline Cristian following the Romanian’s 6-1 6-1 rout of Petra Marcinko. 

The world number 39 did lose her first meeting in straight sets to Seidel last year in Cluj-Napoca and is far more impressive on clay.

There is scope for an upset in this one and the power of Seidel may well be an important factor.
