THE PREDICTION
World number 78 Clara Tauson conceded just two games to Olga Danilovic in qualifying to look competitive in this first encounter with Daria Saville, although the Dane is far from the player who set a career-high of 33rd two years ago. The 21-year-old burst onto the scene in 2021 to win two WTA titles in Lyon and Luxembourg but she has struggled to stay fit long enough on tour since early 2022 to maintain any sort of consistency.
Former number 20 Daria Saville has won her opening match in each of her last three tournaments to improve on some concerning form this year but the Aussie is also far form her best ahead of this first meeting between the two. Both players would prefer a battle on a faster surface but Saville has been the more dependable of two very unpredictable players so far this season. Take the 30-year-old to win a set to leave this result up to chance but it would be wiser still to leave this match be.
TIP: DARIA SAVILLE TO WIN A SET
