Lucia Bronzetti vs Jelena Ostapenko prediction
Jelena Ostapenko is yet to take to the court in the singles event this year at Cincinnati, having been awarded a walkover win over Colombian Camila Osorio in the second round. Whether this benefits the 23rd seed or not remains to be seen as she now takes on a player in Lucia Bronzetti, who has already spent a significant amount of time on court across this tournament.
Bronzetti has come through two three-set matches, coming from behind against Lin Zhu, before holding her nerve vs Daria Kasatkina after surrendering a first set lead, eventually beating the 15th seed 6-3, 1-6, 6-4. That cannot be underestimated heading into a contest such as this, with Ostapenko potentially needing time to settle into her surroundings and possibly hitting a little rusty from the baseline due to a lack of match action.
Bronzetti has already taken out one seeded player and here she stands a real opportunity to doing the same to Ostapenko. Backing the Italian to pull off another big win is well worth considering.
