TATJANA MARIA VS CLARA TAUSON PREDICTION
Former world number 33 Clara Tauson was a rising star alongside the likes of Emma Raducanu and Leylah Fernandez in 2021 but she has struggled to maintain her early intensity in recent seasons. The Dane has plenty of time to get back on track but this looks a tough match-up on clay as world number 64 Tatjana Maria is a dab hand at dismantling powerful players’ games.
The 36-year-old handed Tauson a bagel with victory at the Poland Open last season and she is more comfortable on clay, with Tauson’s recent performances on this surface encouraging but likely not quite good enough. Back Maria to edge this clash in conditions that suit her best.
