Sofia Kenin vs Eva Lys prediction
Sofia Kenn failed to make it out of Canadian Open qualifying last time out, losing to Lucrezia Stefanini in three sets. That extended her losing run to three matches, and Kenin is without a win since the first-round of Wimbledon. She is yet to reach a quarter-final this season, and her ranking has dropped to outside the world’s top 115.
She faces Eva Lys in the first-round. Lys enters the main draw as a lucky loser. The German won the first set in qualifying against Anna Blinkova, but lost in three. Lys is yet to win back-to-back matches this season and has struggled with fitness. The 24-year-old was on the brink of a win at the Canadian Open as she served for the match against Petra Marcinko in the first-round, but she was forced to retire in the third set.
Neither player is a clear favourite for this one, and this could go all the way to a deciding set.
