Mirra Andreeva vs Jaqueline Cristian prediction

Mirra Andreeva should finally begin her title defence against Jaqueline Cristian. 

The reigning champion was handed a walkover in the second round after Daria Kasatkina withdrew.

It means the Russian will now kick off against Jaqueline Cristian after the Romanian progressed when Ella Seidel retired trailing 6-0. 

This will be their first encounter and it looks like it’ll be firmly on Mirra’s racket. The fifth seed enjoys these conditions and Cristian clearly prefers clay.

Mirra Andreeva vs Jaqueline Cristian tip: Mirra Andreeva to win 2-0
