Some of the quarterfinals will be set in Saint-Malo, France on day 3 at the WTA Saint-Malo tournament. Home players Harmony Tan and Oceane Dodin are among the players in action. Here are all your predictions.
Kateryna Kozlova vs Anna Karolina Schmiedlova
Kozlova leads the h2h 2-0 and has been slightly better in recent weeks, there’s not a lot of separation between these players but Kozlova is the favorite to advance. Kozlova in 2
Greet Minnen vs Viktorija Golubic
Golubic beat Minnen in Lyon earlier this year and has been red hot against players ranked outside of the top 50 in the world. Minnen did not look her best in round 1 against Luisa Stefani needing three sets to defeat the doubles specialist. This match looks like one way traffic for the Swiss Golubic. Golubic in 2
Harmony Tan vs Arantxa Rus
Tan has a h2h win and a recent WTA semifinal on the clay. Rus is more experienced but it’s not been a good season for the Dutch player, at home, Tan is the preferred pick. Tan in 2
Oceane Dodin vs Aliona Bolsova
Bolsova has a h2h win against Dodin, the former top 50 player from France is struggling this year, although a round 1 win against Alize Cornet was solid. Bolsova isn’t doing significantly better but did have an easier time in round 1 and should be fresher. Bolsova in 3
Nina Stojanovic vs Jasmine Paolini
Stojanovic just beat Paolini in the Madrid qualifiers, that match went three sets and both these players have proven themselves capable, but there’s no reason to not pick Stojanovic to repeat her recent win in this matchup. Stojanovic in 3
