Tatjana Maria vs Katie Volynets prediction

Katie Volynets set up a fourth ever meeting with Tatjana Maria in Ostrava.

The American romped to a 6-2 6-1 win over Linda Klimovicova to tee up a showdown with the top seed.

Maria has struggled for form since the grass season and will be vulnerable against an opponent who leads 2-1 in the head-to-head.

World number 96 Volynets ended the Queen’s champion’s Wimbledon run in their most recent encounter last year and the American has won the last two encounters.

Volynets has won 15 of her last 21 outings across all tiers and the 38-year-old Maria may struggle to match that level of consistency. 

There’s definitely enough of a rationale here to claim the top seed could be in for a tough assignment and we are backing the upset.
