THE PREDICTION
World number 44 Aliaksandra Sasnovich took Marie Bouzkova to three sets before defeat in the second round of Madrid two weeks ago as she continues to struggle to impose herself on tournaments. In fact both players here are desperately in need of a foothold to build a deep run as two of the better scrappers on tour who have struggled to find any sort of rhythm in recent months. World number 50 Leyla Fernandez was stunned by teenage sensation Mirra Andreeva in the first round of Madrid two weeks ago but that defeat looks less poor in retrospect given the Russian went on to reach the quarter-finals. 20-year-old Fernandez favours clay but it has been some time since she has put a totally convincing performance in. Sets seem likely to go both ways in this first meeting between the two and at this moment in time backing Sasnovich to earn at least one of them seems the most sensible way to lean.
