Mai Hontama vs Storm Hunter prediction

Storm Hunter will be desperate for an upturn in fortunes in Chennai.

The Aussie has won just one of her last eight matches after a stop-start few months.

A spell out following the Miami Open has seen the 31-year-old tumble down the rankings, but her current position of 622 is certainly a red herring in terms of her quality.

Mai Hontama is ranked far higher at 241 but has not won on the WTA tour this year and is also on a losing run that stands at five matches.

It could come down to low confidence versus rustiness but Storm did win a match in Guadalajara in September against world number 78 Katerina Siniakova and if she shows flashes of her best tennis it should see her through here.
