Katie Boulter vs Anna Karolina Schmiedlova
Schmiedlova takes on Boulter after reaching the quarterfinals in Guadalajara. Boulter has a h2h win but Schmiedlova is playing much better at the moment and should still be favored. Schmiedlova in 2
Ann Li vs Arantxa Rus
Ann Li won their match at last year’s US Open and already has a semifinal on her resume this season. She’ll be the favorite against Rus and could go much further this tournament. Li in 2
Caroline Dolehide vs Viktoria Kuzmova
Kuzmova leads the h2h 2-0 and although she’s started the year winless, Dolehide isn’t playing that much better. This looks like the perfect opportunity for Kuzmova to turn things around, even if it’s a rocky match. Kuzmova in 3
Renata Zarazua vs Tamara Zidansek
The pair have split h2h’s, and Zarazua is playing at home after winning one round last week in Guadalajara. Zidansek is 3-4 on the season and looking to improve. This is a tough match to call but home cooking favors Zarazua slightly. Zarazua in 3
