Mary Stoiana vs Tereza Valentova prediction

Mary Stoiana battled her way past Oksana Selekhmeteva in three sets to advance to the main draw of the Cincinnati Open. The American was unable to qualify in Toronto, but she will now be hoping for her first tour-level win of the campaign. The 23-year-old has still been competitive on the ITF circuit, with one final backed up by four semi-final appearances. She moved up to 124 in the world last month, a career best.

Her opponent is Tereza Valentova. The Czech failed to move past the first-round stage of the Canadian Open last time out as she lost to Taylor Townsend. Her results last month were impressive, as she advanced to the semi-finals of the Prague Open and the last eight of the Hellenic Championships in Athens.

Valentova is far higher up in the rankings, and she will be expected to come out on top with a victory here.
