THE PREDICTION
Former world number one Karolina Pliskova beat Maria Sakkari in straight sets on Wednesday to get her Stuttgart Open campaign underway with a statement and it is important to remember the conditions here are unlike any other clay-court tournament on the WTA tour. Playing indoors suits the Czech’s world-class serve and despite her height Pliskova has always been a deceptively good mover on court, particularly side to side with her remarkable wingspan. That makes this a very tough test for world number 23 Donna Vekic, who impressively ousted Ekaterina Alexandrova in straight sets on Monday. The 26-year-old has enjoyed an incredible renaissance under new coach Pam Shriver to see runs to the quarter-finals of the Australian Open earlier this year as well as a fourth WTA title claimed at the Monterrey Open in February but she trails Pliskova 6-1 in their head-to-head. Vekic beat the Czech for the first time in their most recent encounter late last season but back Pliskova to extend her lead with an outright win here.
