Simona Waltert vs Ajla Tomljanovic prediction

Simona Waltert will be hoping to end a four-match losing streak when she begins her campaign in Miami. The Swiss was defeated in straight sets by McCartney Kessler in the first-round of a 125 event in Austin last week. She also lost in the first qualifying stage of Indian Wells to Himeno Sakatsume.

She goes up against Ajla Tomljanovic. The Australian’s form has picked up in recent weeks, as she made the quarter-finals of the ATX Open at the end of last month. Tomljanovic then defeated Elena-Gabriela Ruse and Xinyu Wang to make the third-round of Indian Wells, where she lost to two-time Grand Slam finalist Jasmine Paolini, despite taking the match into a deciding set.

Waltert leads the head-to-head 1-0 after beating Tomljanovic as a qualifier in the first-round of the Singapore Open last year. Nevertheless, the Australian is performing well at the moment and should be fancied for this match.
