Kimberly Birrell vs Clara Tauson prediction
Clara Tauson will be searching for a first main draw win on grass against Kimberly Birrell.
The Danish second seed has been knocking on the door of the world’s top 20 this year, but the 22-year-old has yet to make any impression on the turf so far in her fledgling career.
Aussie Birrell could pose a threat of the upset having already reached the last eight in a Birmingham 125 and picked up a win in S’Hertogenbosch, so if Tauson has any issues adjusting to the surface, the world number 69 could take advantage.
Tauson will be eager to get that first win but the odds probably favour it going the distance or a punt on the upset.
Kimberly Birrell vs Clara Tauson tip: Over 2.5 sets
