THE LOWDOWN
CLARA BUREL
Clara Burel comes into this tournament ranked as the number 91 in the world which is a career best. The 20 year-old Frenchwoman has already made her debut at each Grand Slam tournament with a career best finish of a third round appearance at Roland-Garros in the French Open in May 2020. Burel’s preference for clay is evident in her WTA Tour final appearances whereby she reached the Swiss Open final in Lausanne in July 2021 but she lost to Tamara Zidansek.
CLARA TAUSON
Clara Tauson comes into this tournament ranked as the number 77 in the world which, similar to her opponent, is a career best. The 18 year-old from Copenhagen has reached the finals of the French Open, Australian Open and the US Open. Unlike Clara Burel, though, she has won a WTA Tour final with a straight set victory over Viktorija Golubic in the Lyon Open in March 2021.
THE PREDICTION
This is a match between two players with key similarities in terms of their age and recent performances. However, it is Clara Tauson would be the favoured Tennis player for this one as her opponent favours the clay court. It is expected to be a close encounter but the Dane is the slight favourite.
