Petra Marcinko vs Eva Lys prediction
Petra Marcinko broke new ground last week as she won her first tour-level title in Rabat. The Croatian comfortably beat second seed Jessica Bouzas Maneiro in the quarter-finals and then defeated Jil Teichmann in her last four match. In the final, her opponent Anhelina Kalinina was forced to retire, with Marcinko leading 6-2 3-0. This will be a huge boost for Marcinko, who now has her sights set on breaking into the top 50 of the world rankings.
Her first-round opponent is Eva Lys. The German has struggled when it comes to consistency this season. She was out of action for two months after the Australian Open due to injury, and she has failed to get a run of form going since then. Lys has only played 11 matches so far this season, winning just three and losing eight. She attempted to qualify for the Strasbourg Open last time out but lost in the first stage to Talia Gibson.
She has a lot to prove at this moment, and it’s difficult to look past Marcinko after coming off the biggest title of her young career so far.
