BERNARDA PERA VS NAO HIBINO PREDICTION
29-year-old Bernarda Pera set a career-high WTA world ranking of 27th after winning her two WTA titles back-to-back on clay in the summer of 2022. The American has drifted back considerably since but she looks the solid favourite to beat word number 96 Nao Hibino in their second encounter on tour, despite the Japanese winning their first in three tight sets at Wimbledon three years ago.
Hibino, also 29, enjoyed an out-of-the-blue run to the Prague Open title last August, and backed that up with victory in doubles there too, but she has barely won a match since, taking a tour-level four match losing streak into Paris. Pera reached the last 16 here last summer before her form dipped drastically but she can be backed to make a solid start here with an outright win.
