THE LOWDOWN

Barbora Krejcikova comes into this round with impressive victories over qualifier Astra Sharma and then Christina McHale. The tournament’s eighth seed is yet to drop a set and in the four sets she has played, she has only conceded eight games. Now she comes up against lucky loser entry Kamilla Rakhimova of Russia. Rakhimova defeated Kristina Mladenovic in three sets before a straight set victory over her compatriot and number 32 seed Ekaterina Alexandrova in the second round.

THE PREDICTION

Despite the fact that Rakhimova has provided a couple of upsets, that run is unlikely to continue here. Krejcikova has not yet faced opposition capable of testing her but she should remain the favourite for this encounter.
