Jaqueline Cristian vs Kimberly Birrell prediction

Jaqueline Cristian’s charge to the Rabat final will provide a huge boost heading into the French Open. 

The Romanian has enjoyed a very solid clay swing and will be confident she can level her head-to-head with Kimberly Birrell to reach the second round.

The Aussie won their previous meeting in Hobart last year but has hardly played on clay recently, losing four of her five matches on the surface. 

Indeed, the world number 63 has a miserable record on the dirt, while it is Cristian’s favourite surface meaning all signs point to a win for the world number 74.
