SARA SORRIBES TORMO VS NADIA PODOROSKA PREDICTION

World number 46 Sara Sorribes Tormo beat number 59 Nadia Podoroska, both 27, in straight sets in the first round of the Italian Open two weeks ago, backing up her win in their first encounter at the Abu Dhabi Open three years ago. The Spaniard has enjoyed some strong form on her favoured clay in recent weeks, losing to eventual champion Iga Swiatek in the last 16 at Roland-Garros before defeat to ninth seed Jelena Ostapenko in Rome, and she conceded just two games in her opener here over Harriet Dart.

Argentina’s Podoroska grabbed a similarly assured opener over Tatjana Maria on Monday to gain a solid foothold in at Rabat but she has failed to win back-to-back matches on her favoured clay since the start of the swing to look short of what is required to out-last the tireless Sorribes Tormo. Back the Spaniard to win.
