XINYU WANG VS VIKTORIYA TOMOVA PREDICTION
World number 37 Xinyu Wang came back from a set down to beat Jule Niemeier on Sunday, surviving a tough opener against a lucky loser with recent form on clay. The 22-year-old would far prefer to ply her trade om hardcourts, on which she reached the round of 16 at the US Open last summer, but it has taken the likes of Caroline Garcia, Beatriz Haddad-Maia and Madison Keys to oust her on clay so far this swing to suggest she can play to her ranking.
However, world number 75 Viktoriya Tomova is at her best on clay and she proved it on Monday with a brilliant upset of 16th seed Ekaterina Alexandrova. The 29-year-old reached the semi-finals of the Rabat Open last week before a tight three-set exit to eventual champion Peyton Stearns and she took the first from Wang in their recent clash at the Madrid Masters before defeat late last month. Tomova could well avenge that defeat here but back her to earn at least a set as the likelier of two capable victors.
