ALISON VAN UYTVANCK VS TAMARA ZIDANSEK PREDICTION

Keep this match between two of the more unpredictable players on tour far from an accumulator on Sunday. 26-year-old Tamara Zidansek set a career-high WTA world ranking of 22nd after an incredible run to the semi-finals here in 2021 and she won the Lausanne Ladies Open soon after to look a serious threat to anyone on clay.

The Slovenian has lost in the first round in each of her last five Grand Slams, however, as she drifts ever-further into the wilderness of the top 150, although she has qualified handily this week to make a case for a run. 30-year-old Alison Van Uytvanck is currently ranked just inside the top 400 after a lengthy injury absence, with this her first tour-level match since early February last season.

The Belgian set her best Grand Slam run here with a quarter-final exit in 2015 but she has failed to make it past the second round ever since. Back Zidansek to earn at least a set on the momentum of qualifying to leave this result up to chance.
