Tennis Predictions: WTA Ostrava Open Day 4
As we approach the final round of matches at the WTA Ostrava Open, day four promises an intriguing slate. Here are our predictions, focusing on the key contests and what to expect from each encounter.
Tamara Korpatsch vs Emiliana Arango
Korpatsch won her opening match in straight sets, while Arango received a bye into the second round as the second seed. This is their first-ever meeting, setting up an intriguing battle of styles. Arango relies heavily on defensive skills, which could lead to many lengthy rallies. However, Sramkova’s reliability might give her an edge over Korpatsch in this close contest.
Rebecca Sramkova vs Linda Fruhvirtova
This match features a 20-year-old rising star in Fruhvirtova, who has made a decent start to the year. However, her recent confidence might be misplaced against Sramkova’s more stable base level and overall reliability. The Czech player is tipped to advance over Fruhvirtova.
Fiona Ferro vs Nikola Bartunkova
Bartunkova backed up her strong performance at the Australian Open with a win over Anna Blinkova in Ostrava. If she plays near this level again, she will likely defeat Ferro. The young star is expected to keep her rhythm and not drop enough to give Ferro an opening.
Diane Parry vs Panna Udvardy
Parry, more talented than Udvardy but starting as the lower-ranked player due to recent injury issues, is backed to overcome this challenge. Despite her passive game, Udvardy’s one-handed backhand often becomes a target for Parry. This gives the Frenchwoman an ideal chance to control rallies and win.
Katie Boulter vs Viktorija Golubic
Golubic beat Boulter in their last meeting, but Boulter is better when playing well. The Swiss player’s craftiness could disrupt Boulter’s rhythm, making it difficult for her to make the correct decisions. Golubic’s variety and strategic play are expected to lead to a victory over Boulter.
