Sofia Kenin vs Bernarda Pera prediction
Sofia Kenin will play her first match since a dismal 6-0 6-0 defeat to Coco Gauff in the second round of the Miami Open. The 2020 Australian Open champion has had a mixed year so far, with a fine run to the quarter-finals in Dubai and losing a close three set-battle to Daria Kasatkina at Indian Wells.
Bernarda Pera showed some fine form in Miami, getting through the qualifiers and easily beating Ajla Tomljanovic before losing to fourth seed Jessica Pegula in two close sets, with Pegula going on to make the final of the tournament.
This could prove to be a close match between the Americans, with Kenin having the credentials of making a clay court Grand Slam final in 2020 at Roland Garros, though Pera has won both of her WTA titles on the surface. We think Pera, who seems to be enjoying a decent run of form, may have the edge on Kenin.
Sofia Kenin vs Bernarda Pera tip: Bernarda Pera to win 2-1
