McCartney Kessler vs Iva Jovic prediction
McCartney Kessler defied the Italian crowd to edge past Lucia Bronzetti in Rome.
The American dug deep to clock a 6-3 5-7 6-4 success over the home hope to tee up a showdown with her compatriot Iva Jovic.
The 16th seed reached the last four on the dirt in Charleston but has only won one of her last five.
If Jovic finds her rhythm she will be tough to stop, but Kessler is dogged and may make this a real battle if her opponent’s not got her Mojo flowing.
