Jaqueline Cristian vs Yelyzaveta Kotliar prediction
Jaqueline Cristian’s most recent event was a third-round appearance at the Italian Open. She defeated 23rd seed Yulia Putintseva in the second-round but then lost to 13th seed Diana Shnaider. That was a step in the right direction for the French player after disappointing first-round losses in Rouen and Madrid.
Cristian has already been part of the winners circle this year with her victory at the Puerto Vallarta Open and seems to be returning to some kind of form heading into the Morocco Open.
Yelyzaveta Kotliar will be her opponent in the first-round. The 18-year-old was awarded a wildcard into the main singles draw for the first time on the WTA Tour. Cristian should heading into this event with a good amount of confidence after a decent showing in Rome.
We can see her getting past her younger opponent with considerable ease and we’re predicting a very comfortable victory.
