THE LOWDOWN

Back-to-back straight set victories for Anett Kontaveit means the Estonian has cruised into this third round with little effort. The Estonian is the 28th seed for the tournament and has dropped just eight games on her run to this stage. She now comes up against Iga Swiatek of Poland who came through a three-set thriller against Fiona Ferro but Ferro must have irritated Swiatek by levelling the match so the Polish world number seven took the final set by six games to nil.

THE PREDICTION

As impressive as Anett Kontaveit has been so far in this tournament, it is the one-time Grand Slam winner Iga Swiatek that will be the slight favourite. Swiatek has shown a slight weakness so far by dropping a set in the second round so a three-set match would seem likely. However, it is the Polish player that should come out on top over those three sets.
