Leyre Romero Gormaz vs Tiantsoa Rakotomanga Rajaonah prediction
Leyre Romero Gormaz made light work of the qualifiers, going through without dropping a single set with only one of those needing a tie-breaker to decide it. If she can carry that form into the first round, then 19-year-old French talent Tiantsoa Rakotomanga Rajaonah. Both left-handed hitters, an entertaining encounter could lie ahead.
Key for the home player Rakotomanga Rajaonah will be her ability to maintain composure and let the crowd work in her favour. That means keeping in touch with Romero Gormaz, even if she falls behind. It’s a difficult kettle of fish playing in the main draw as opposed to the qualifiers and the pressure is even more stark.
Romero Gormaz will no doubt try to come out of the blocks quickly, but she’s facing a fearless young player with little pressure on her shoulders and a bad spell could see the Spaniard chasing the game. Backing over 1.5 total sets should be seriously considered.
Leyre Romero Gormaz vs Tiantsoa Rakotomanga Rajaonah tip: Over 1.5 total sets
