Jelena Ostapenko vs Amanda Anisimova prediction
Jelena Ostapenko outclassed Lucrezia Stefanini to set up a third career meeting with Amanda Anisimova.
The Latvian raced to a 6-0 6-1 victory over the Italian wildcard but will need to play more consistently to have a shot at upsetting the equally powerful sixth seed.
There head-to-head stands at 1-1 with a win apiece on hardcourts, although Amanda's came last year and is a better barometer of what we may see here.
Anisimova has been solid without producing anything spectacular this season and this is her first outing on clay.
Ostapenko is capable of beating the best when she red-lines but she will be made to take more and more risks and you sense it may not all pay off.
