Laura Siegemund vs Karolina Pliskova prediction
Karolina Pliskova battled back from the brink to edge out Jaqueline Cristian and reach the third round.
The Czech prevailed 6-7 7-6 6-4 and will now face an in-form Laura Siegemund.
The German followed up a win over Sara Bejlek with a 6-4 6-7 6-1 triumph over Ekaterina Alexandrova.
This is their third meeting and a first since 2020 but Siegemund can point to the fact she won their only prior clash on clay.
That may not be a factor here, but we think there is mileage in a large number of games and the possibility of a third.
Laura Siegemund vs Karolina Pliskova tip: Over 2.5 sets
