Simona Waltert vs Mayar Sherif prediction
Simona Waltert impressed earlier this month, as she advanced all the way to the final of the Nordea Open. However, she was unable to win the title following a loss to former world number two Paula Badosa. The 25-year-old struggled at her next event at the Iasi Open as she lost in the first-round to Katarzyna Kawa in straight sets. Her ranking currently sits at 91 in the world, and she has a 20-21 singles record in 2026.
She will face Mayar Sherif in round one, who enters this tournament having just won the title in Iasi. Sherif faced Badosa in the final, with the Spaniard retiring in the second set. This was also preceded by a title in Contrexeville on the ITF circuit, and the Egyptian is currently on a 10-match winning streak. She also leads this head-to-head 5-1 and 4-1 on clay.
It’s difficult to look past Sherif, given the way she has been performing in recent weeks, along with her superb record against Waltert.
