Kamilla Rakhimova vs Jaqueline Cristian prediction
Despite boasting a far superior world ranking, Jaqueline Cristian has had it far from her own way against Kamilla Rakhimova in previous duels against the 24-year-old. Rakhimova has beaten Cristian in three of their four previous encounters, including last year in Adelaide. However, this is the first time they will face off on clay and that plays in Cristian’s favour.
The Romanian is coming off the back of a run to the semi-finals in Strasbourg where she pushed first seed Victoria Mboko to the limit, losing in three sets. Cristian has been playing good tennis lately and with momentum in her favour, it’s well worth backing the 27-year-old to come through this first round test.
