Solana Sierra vs Moyuka Uchijima prediction
Solana Sierra competed for Argentina at the United Cup and began her season with a victory over Jessica Bouzas Maneiro, though she would lose her next two matches against Coco Gauff and Belinda Bencic. Sierra then competed in Hobart and made the second-round, before a loss to Antonia Ruzic. Her most impressive result last year was at Wimbledon, as she came all the way from qualifying and got through to the round-of-16. She is now safely inside the top 100 of the world rankings.
Her opponent is Moyuka Uchijima. The Japanese player’s form completely fell away after a strong showing in Madrid where she made the quarter-finals last May. She hasn’t made a particularly encouraging start to this campaign, with an early exit in Canberra followed up by a failure to make the main draw in Hobart after a defeat in the qualifying stages.
Sierra’s aggressive style should cause Uchijima some problems and she’ll be confident of another win at a Grand Slam in the first-round.
