THE PREDICTION

World number 78 Martina Trevisan is certainly one of the more specialised players on tour but she is far better in these conditions than her current ranking suggests, with a career-high WTA world ranking of 18th set last season after reaching the semi-finals of Roland-Garros in 2022. The 30-year-old proved her efficacy on her favoured clay with a huge straight-sets victory over former number one Naomi Osaka, although Osaka is far from comfortable on the slower surface, and she should be considered a real threat to the title after that confidence boost.

World number 32 Anhelina Kalinina is also at her best on clay, finishing runner-up to Elena Rybakina at the Rome Masters last spring, and she looked solid in her opener over Alize Cornet on Tuesday. The third seed has recently stunned the likes of Aryna Sabalenka and Caroline Wozniacki (twice) to suggest she is coming back into form but Trevisan will be a tough task in these conditions. Kalinina won their only previous encounter in straight sets on a hardcourt but take the Ukrainian to earn at least a set here to leave the result up to chance.

TIP: ANHELINA KALININA TO WIN A SET
