Whitney Osuigwe vs Tatjana Maria prediction
Whitney Osuigwe qualified for the tournament after wins over Aliaksandra Sasnovich and Cristina Bucsa. She did the same last week in Montreal last week but lost in the first-round to Hailey Baptiste in straight sets. The world number 149 has failed to win on the WTA Tour this season but does have a lower tour-events wins in Santo Domingo and Boca Raton.
Tatjana Maria is without a win in her last four matches. She lost in the final of the Newport Open on clay and has since followed that up with first-round defeats in Hamburg, Washington and Montreal. Her form over the last two months has been all over the place, as she has made two finals, including a stunning triumph at Queen’s, but also lost in the first-round of over five events.
Osuigwe leads the head-to-head 1-0 on the WTA Tour. She defeated Maria 6-3 6-3 in the first-round of the Dow Tennis Classic last November indoors. The German is struggling in terms of form, and we can envision an upset here in the first-round.
