Victoria Jimenez Kasintseva vs Caty McNally prediction
Victoria Jimenez Kasintseva began her season with four losses out of five, however she found form with a run to the quarter-finals of the Merida Open last week. This included battling three set wins over Yulia Putintseva and Magda Linette. The Romanian carried on the momentum with two wins in qualifying to make the main draw at Indian Wells, coming from a set down to beat former British number one Katie Boulter in the final stage.
She faces Caty McNally in the first-round. The American competed in the ATX Open last week, losing to Ashlyn Krueger in the first-round. Her best result of the season so far was a quarter-final appearance in Ostrava, but she has struggled in terms of results elsewhere.
Jimenez Kasintseva has won a number of matches over the past week and is performing well at the moment. She certainly has the ability and the game to trouble McNally in this first-round match.
