Maria Sakkari vs Zeynep Sonmez prediction
Maria Sakkari was close to winning her home event in Athens last month, as she advanced to the final of the Hellenic Championships. However, she was unable to win the title after a defeat to two-time Grand Slam singles champion Barbora Krejcikova in straight sets. She has moved back up inside the top 35 of the world rankings, and she will be seeded for this event.
The Greek received a bye in round one and now faces Zeynep Sonmez. She got through her opening match after a win over Rebecca Marino. Sonmez was broken just once on serve as she wrapped up a 7-5 6-4 victory.
Sakkari leads the overall head-to-head 2-1, including qualifiers. They faced each other earlier this year at the Qatar Open, with the former world number two winning in straight sets. Sonmez has shown improvements this season, and she has the game to trouble Sakkari in this encounter.
