Martha Matoula vs Elena Micic prediction

Martha Matoula features in just a fifth tour-level match of her career in Athens.

The world number 304 has had most of her lower-tier success on clay but will hope to cause an upset on home turf.

The Greek meets Australia’s Elena Micic who, at 21, has barely made an impression on tour, but is all about hardcourts.

We think there will be a victory for Greece from one of their underdogs in this first round and given that Micic sits six places lower in the rankings, there’s a decent shout the motivation of winning in the capital will inspire Matoula.
