THE PREDICTION
Former number one Angelique Kerber blasted past Lauren Davis to just one conceded game on Tuesday but this will be a significantly bigger challenge. The 36-year-old has impressed since her return from maternity leave, reaching the round of 16 at Indian Wells with some big results over the likes of Petra Martic, Jelena Ostapenko and 17th seed Veronika Kudermetova but this rematch should better-suit the Russian. 27-year-old Kudermetova struggled to get going this year before the clay swing but she has beaten Beatriz Haddad-Maia and Barbora Krejcikova in recent weeks to improve. Back-to-back semi-finals here and in Madrid last season are proof of what she can do on clay and that should see her avenge things here against Kerber, whose weakest surface was always clay even at the peak of her powers.
TIP: VERONIKA KUDERMETOVA TO WIN
