Laura Siegemund vs Sara Bejlek prediction

Sara Bejlek will feature in her first match of the European clay swing in Rome.

The Czech catapulted into the top 100 with her charge to the Abu Dhabi title but has only played five matches since, winning two of them.

Next up, the 20-year-old world number 37 comes up against veteran Laura Siegemund, who is 18 years her senior.

The German hasn’t made much impression on the clay yet but will be better adapted at this juncture, making this a tough call.

Both are statistically strong on the dirt, so it could be one to look at a large number of games over 20.5 or taking a punt on it going three.

Laura Siegemund vs Sara Bejlek tip: Over 20.5 games
