Maria Sakkari vs Peyton Stearns prediction
Maria Sakkari has not been competitive during this clay court season, with five defeats from her last six matches. She was comprehensively beaten by Elena Rybakina in the second-round of the Italian Open after getting past Lilli Tagger in round one. The former world number three excelled in Doha a few months ago, beating Iga Swiatek on her way to making the semi-finals in February, but her results have taken a dip once again.
Her first-round opponent is Peyton Stearns. Her best result on clay this season was a third-round appearance in Charleston. Overall, her highlight of the season was winning the ATX Open, as she beat Taylor Townsend in the final.
This is their first official WTA meeting, though Stearns did beat Sakkari in a qualifying match at the Adelaide International last year. This should be a competitive match between two players who have failed to make a deep run on clay so far this season.
Maria Sakkari vs Peyton Stearns tip: Both players to win a set
