Francesca Jones vs Yelyzaveta Kotliar prediction
Francesca Jones has been able to pick up results in recent weeks, and she will now hope for a deep run at the Morocco Open. Jones reached the semi-finals of an ITF event in Wiesbaden, before getting through to the last eight of a tournament at Istanbul. She began the season by advancing to the quarter-finals of the Auckland Classic, but she then suffered a downturn in form. It seems as if Jones has improved her level, with Roland Garros fast approaching.
She faces Yelyzaveta Kotliar. The 19-year-old is ranked outside of the top 500 in the world. She won a lower-level event in La Havre earlier this year, Kotliar made her WTA main draw debut at this event last year, losing in the first-round.
This is a match that Jones will be expected to win comfortably, and with decent form in the build-up, she will be confident of her chances.
