THE PREDICTION

World number 123 Viktoriya Tomova has had a strange week at the Serbia Open having come through the qualifiers as a lucky loser before reaching the semi-finals here via a campaign disproportionately affected by poor weather. The Bulgarian was forced to play two three-set matches yesterday to beat Leylah Fernandez and then Reka-Luca Jani and she will likely be feeling a spot of lethargy on Saturday morning in this first meeting with Paula Badosa. World number 44 Badosa has stormed through the Serbia Open whilst avoiding most of the weather delays, reaching the semi-finals without dropping a set. The Spaniard should be fresher here but should be winning this match-up in any case. Tomova’s fight this week makes straight-sets for Badosa look a slight risk so take the Spaniard to win outright.
