Sara Bejlek vs Karolina Pliskova prediction
Karolina Pliskova will pose an immediate threat to Sara Bejlek
The veteran Czech continues to rocket back up the rankings following her lengthy injury lay-off and has a fantastic overall pedigree on grass.
Bejlek has been installed as top seed after a couple of withdrawals, including Britain’s Emma Raducanu, and has very limited experience on the turf.
It’s all about the Pliskova serve in this one and how well the younger Czech can neutralise the firepower. We don’t see it being a challenge she will rise to with Karolina likely to dominate.
Sara Bejlek vs Karolina Pliskova tip: Karolina Pliskova to win 2-0
