Naomi Osaka vs Eva Lys prediction
Eva Lys got back to winning ways with a hard-fought success over Katie Boulter.
The German prevailed for just the second time in eight outings with a 6-4 3-6 6-4 victory over the Brit.
The world number 80 now faces 15th seed Naomi Osaka, who has continued to post consistent results this year.
Lys was always a favourite against Boulter given the Brit’s lack of confidence on clay but this will be a much tougher proposition with the Japanese perhaps better on the dirt than many give her credit for.
