THE LOWDOWN
Petra Kvitova comes into this third round match after back-to-back straight set victories so far in the competition. The Czech tenth seed defeated Polona Hercog 6-1 6-2 and then cruised past compatriot qualifier Kristyna Pliskova, albeit after a difficult first set. She now comes up against Maria Sakkari who is the number 17 seed in this year’s competition. The Greek has also dispatched her two opponents in her run to the third round.
THE PREDICTION
These two have played each other five times and the head-to-head record is fairly even with Kvitova having won three and two victories for Sakkari. Kvitova is the higher rank, as well, and she will come into this match as the slight favourite. The best for this, though, would be to go overs for games played as it should be a close encounter.
