Marketa Vondrousova vs Kimberly Birrell prediction

Marketa Vondrousova offered a reminder of her indisputable class with an impressive return to winning ways against Liudmila Samsonova.

The Czech set aside a second set blip to romp to a 6-1 4-6 6-2 win over the in-form Russian to book a spot in the round of 16.

Up next, the former Wimbledon champion meets Aussie wildcard Kim Birrell after the world number 107 claimed a 6-4 6-4 win over Anastasia Potapova.

This will be a maiden clash between the two and although Birrell is raising her level in front of the home support, we all know Marketa can be unstoppable if she finds her groove in a draw and that win over Samsonova was an ominous sign.
