Katarzyna Kawa vs Paula Badosa prediction
Katarzyna Kawa has three losses from her last four matches. The 33-year-old failed to qualify for Wimbledon after losing in the final stage to Kayla Day. She was then beaten by Simona Waltert in the opening round of the Nordea Open, and that was followed up by a round-of-16 loss in Iasi. Kawa comfortably took the first set against Panna Udvardy, but went on to lose in three.
She faces Paula Badosa in the first-round. Badosa has found form over the last couple of weeks, as she aims to rise up the rankings following yet another difficult spell with injuries. She won the title in Bastad, winning five matches without the drop of a set. The Spaniard extended her winning run to nine as she advanced to a second successive final at the Iasi Open. However, she would retire in the second set due to illness against Mayar Sherif.
Badosa will hope to quickly return to winning ways in this match against Kawa.
