Katie Boulter vs Jaqueline Cristian prediction
Katie Boulter comfortably defeated Maria Timofeeva in the first-round of the Open de Rouen. She created 13 break point opportunities and was broken on just the one occasion as she won 6-2 6-2 after one hour and 23 minutes.
The former British number one now takes on Jaqueline Cristian. The Romanian pulled off a incredible comeback to defeat Tiantsoa Rakotomanga Rajaonah. These two played each other at this event last year, with Rakotomanga Rajaonah winning, and she looked on course for another victory as she served for the match on two occasions in the second set, but Cristian broke back both times. Remarkably, Rakotmanga Rajaonah squandered two more opportunities to serve out the match in the decider after going a double break up, with Cristian reeling off five games in a row from 5-2 down to win 2-6 7-6 (6) 7-5 after two hours and 47 minutes. She saved four match points overall.
Cristian was vulnerable at times in her previous match, and Boulter is certainly worth a set here.
