THE PREDICTION
World number 32 Sorana Cirstea has suffered some tough draws in recent weeks, losing to eventual champion Iga Swiatek in the third round of the Madrid Masters last time out and meeting top 20 talent in each of her last three, but this is no gimme against 17-year-old Brenda Fruhvirtova after the Czech stunned in-form Taylor Townsend on Wednesday. The teenager will set a new career-high WTA world ranking of 88th for her efforts and she brings some solid momentum on clay into this first encounter with Cirstea after qualifying without dropping a set earlier this week. 34-year-old Cirstea was a Masters semi-finalist at Dubai back in February to remain the favourite here but consider backing Fruhvirtova to earn at least a set whilst keeping this match far from any promising accumulators.
TIP: BRENDA FRUHVIRTOVA TO WIN A SET
