THE PREDICTION
World number 67 Rebeka Masarova came back from a set down to beat home hopeful Ana Bogdan in impressive fashion on Friday. The 24-year-old stunned Maria Sakkari in the first round of the US Open to prove her potential on this surface and she started 2023 off by reaching her maiden WTA tour final at the Auckland Classic, finishing runner-up to Coco Gauff. Former world number 51 Elena-Gabriela Ruse has gone one better, though, with victory at the Hamburg Open in 2021. The 25-year-old is currently taking the long road back up the rankings after a long injury absence but an upset over second seed Alycia Parks in the first round and a gutsy three-setter over Emiliana Arango yesterday suggest she will be very competitive here. Home advantage heavily favours the Romanian but Masarova has been enjoying a strong breakthrough season on tour and victory over Bogdan is proof that she can play the villain here in Cluj-Napoca. Back Masarova to earn at least a set to leave the victor up to chance or consider a one-off on the match to see three sets.
