Zeynep Sonmez vs Carlota Martinez Cirez prediction
Zeynep Sonmez picked up her best win of the year so far as she beat two-time Grand Slam finalist Jasmine Paolini in the first-round of the Stuttgart Open last week. However, she was unable to go further after a tight loss to Leylah Fernandez, losing out in the deciding set tiebreak. The Turk is up to her highest ranking of 67 in the world, having advanced to the quarter-finals of the Merida Open less than two months ago.
She faces Carlota Martinez Cirez in round one, with the Spaniard receiving a wildcard. She is ranked outside of the top 350 in the world but has reached two lower-level finals in Antalya and Buenos Aires. This is her first WTA appearance of the campaign.
Sonmez will be viewed as the clear favourite for this one, and if she performs like she did against Paolini, Martinez Cirez will encounter a number of problems from the start.
