Kamilla Rakhimova vs Maria Sakkari prediction
Kamilla Rakhimova picked up her third win in four matches as she comfortably got past Kimberly Birrell in the first-round of the Cincinnati Open. Rakhimova conceded just four games in total as she won 6-2 6-2. It’s been a largely tough season for the 25-year-old, but she is just one match away from back-to-back third-round appearances at WTA 1000 events.
She will face Maria Sakkari next. The former world number two received a bye in round one. Sakkari lost in the third-round of the Canadian Open to Coco Gauff last time out. Her ranking has improved this season, and she reached her first final of the campaign at the Hellenic Championships last month.
She also dominates this head-to-head as she leads 3-0 overall and 1-0 on outdoor hard court. They faced each other at Wimbledon this year, with Sakkari winning the match in the deciding set tiebreak. Rakhimova’s level is encouraging at the moment, and she could trouble the Greek.
Kamilla Rakhimova vs Maria Sakkari tip: Over 20.5 games
