Storm Hunter vs Magdalena Frech prediction
Storm Hunter qualified for this event after wins over Sinja Kraus and Leolia Jeanjean. This was a step in the right direction for the Australian, having failed to make it past the qualifying stages in Doha or Dubai. Hunter began the season in encouraging fashion as she qualified for the Australian Open and went on to make the second-round.
She faces Magdalena Frech. The Pole found form at the Merida Open as she won four matches in a row to advance to the final. This was Frech’s first WTA Tour final since September 2024, but she was unable to pick up a second career title as she lost in three sets to Cristina Bucsa. Nevertheless, this was a big step in the right direction for Frech, who seems to have found some form again after a difficult 2025.
Frech performed strongly last week and if she maintains that level, she will put herself in a very strong position to defeat Hunter.
