Storm Hunter vs Emiliana Arango prediction
Storm Hunter earned her first win on tour this season after getting past Katerina Siniakova in three sets. Hunter came from 5-2 down in the first set to take it on a tiebreak, but Siniakova forced a decider after winning the last three games of the second. The Australian won four games in a row in the third set to seal a 7-6 4-6 6-3 victory.
Her opponent will be Emiliana Arango in the next round. Arango advanced after Magda Linette was forced to retire midway through their round one encounter. The Colombian had won the first set 6-0. Another victory would see Arango make the quarter-finals of a WTA Tour event for the first time this season.
The Colombian’s depth and pace on her groundstrokes should see her dominate the baseline exchanges and she should be viewed as the clear favourite to defeat Hunter. An aggressive Arango display is likely to be enough to beat the Australian.
