Julia Riera vs Vitalia Diatchenko prediction
Julia Riera will hope the familiar conditions and her superior ranking will help her end a run of indifferent form.
The 23-year-old Argentine has won just two of her last eight matches and has lost her last three.
The world number 188 also prefers clay and that could lead to her having a tough time of it against a bigger-hitting Diatchenko.
The Russian 35-year-old sits at 327 in the world but enjoys a hardcourt and recently won the title in a W50 at Corroios-Seixal.
There is no head-to-head history but the towering Russian will hope to make her extra reach tell in a match-up that could see the South American face an upset.
