Hailey Baptiste vs Jessica Bouzas Maneiro prediction

Jessica Bouzas Maneiro and Hailey Baptiste will both be targeting a first ever appearance in the round of 16 at a Grand Slam when they lock horns on Saturday.

Few would have tipped this as a potential third round match-up, but both players made waves by taking down seeds in their opening outings at the tournament. 

Bouzas Maneiro was almost flawless as she downed out-of-sorts ninth seed Emma Navarro 6-0 6-1, while Baptiste outlasted 23rd seed Beatriz Haddad Maia 4-6 6-1 6-1.

Indeed, everything about this clash suggests it should be tight.

There are just two places between them in the rankings with Bouzas Maneiro just ahead at 68 in the world, while the Spaniard is a year younger than her American opponent.

The pair met in Mexico last year with the Spaniard prevailing 6-7 6-1 7-6.

It may come down to who handles the big occasion better with the American less experienced on clay.
