Simona Waltert vs Anastasija Sevastova prediction
Anastasija Sevastova will be pleased to return to clay after a brief stint on grass.
The veteran Latvian made little impact on the turf but now continues her comeback from a 14-month absence after making a strong impact on the dirt in Madrid and Rabat.
The 35-year-old’s opponent may be ranked higher at 127 in the world, but Waltert generally competes at ITF-level.
Sevastova’s pedigree on the surface at this level is well-known and the world 385 should kick-start her bid to rise up the rankings in this one after a three-match losing run.
