THE PREDICTION

World number 108 Lauren Davis put in an excellent display to beat in-form Kaja Juvan via two tiebreaks on Monday but she has had to wait a long time for a second match. The 28-year-old recently stunned Jelena Ostapenko at the Italian Open on clay but she has failed to win back-to-back matches since reaching the quarter-finals of Adelaide 2 way back in January. World number 26 Camila Giorgi beat Tereza Martincova in straight sets for a solid win on grass after she was shocked by Harriet Dart at last week’s Nottingham Open. The Italian started finding some serious form this time last year with a run to the semi-finals at Eastbourne ended by injury after beating then world number two Aryna Sabalenka.

The pair have only played one match at tour-level, with Davis taking their quarter-final at the Washington Open in 2016, but the American has dominated proceedings over the past decade in Challengers and qualifiers. However, their last match came way back in 2017 and Giorgi has vastly improved since then, whilst Davis’ higher powers may be behind her. Back Giorgi to win outright here.
