THE PREDICTION
World number 73 Anna Blinkova played well to come back from a set down to in-form Mayar Sherif on Tuesday. The 24-year-old claimed her maiden WTA title at the Cluj-Napoca Open late last season, beating Kalinina in the quarter-finals. on an indoor hardcourt but she has earned a few good results on clay so far this swing. World number 47 Anhelina Kalinina is the 30th seed here in Rome as her points from last year’s run in Madrid still count here and the Ukrainian will be eager to snap a four-match losing streak on tour to get back inside the top 40 at least. The 26-year-old is usually at her best on clay but two defeats on the spin on the surface suggests Blinkova has a chance at the upset here on a run up from the first round. The Russian’s win in Cluj last season was their only tour-level encounter but she has got the better of Kalinina in the vast majority of their meetings off the tour. Back Blinkova to earn at least a set as the likelier of two capable victors.
