We have predictions for all of the day 2 matches at WTA Monterrey including matches featuring Eugenie Bouchard and Nadia Podoroska.
Kristina Kucova vs Sloane Stephens
Stephens has played very little tennis this year and is yet to win a match, Kucova makes the main draw as a lucky loser and hasn’t had success since winning Prague last fall. Both players are desperate for form, Stephens has a slight edge but I expect a low quality tilt. Stephens in 3
Harriet Dart vs Heather Watson
Dart has had some qualifying success but should still struggle against fellow Brit Heather Watson who leads the h2h 1-0 and should be good enough to win matches like this against a player ranked outside of the top 100. Watson isn’t quite at her best level but it shouldn’t matter. Watson in 2
Maria Camila Osorio Serrano vs Kaja Juvan
Juvan reached the third round in Melbourne at the AO while Serrano is still a relatively young player with very little tour experience and a thin resume. Both of these players are still at the beginning of their careers and should feature more on the WTA’s highest levels in the future. For now the advantage goes to Juvan. Juvan in 2
Sara Sorribes Tormo vs Lesia Tsurenko
Tsurenko is a significant distance away from her former top 25 ranking, while Sorribes Tormo is playing some of the best tennis of her career. Tsurenko has made a good start to the year including qualifying for the main draw here but SST is coming off the title in Guadalajara last week and also has a quarterfinal this season. Presuming fatigue doesn’t weight her down, advantage to Sorribes Tormo. Sorribes Tormo in 2
