First round action in the WTA Gdynia will complete on day 2 with Varvara Lepchenko and Irnia Camelia Begu among the players in action. We have predictions for all the matches, including Olga Govortsova’s match.
Marina Melnikova vs Varvara Lepchenko
Melnikova is in the draw as a lucky loser and has struggled on the WTA Tour in her career with just a 2-14 tour level record. Lepchenko, a former top 20 player, is far and away from her best tennis, 4-18 on the WTA tour since 2019. With all that said, I would trust Lepchenko more over Melnikova in this match. Lepchenko in 3
Weronika Baszak vs Aliaksandra Sasnovich
Sasnovich has a decent record on tour this season with a couple of quarterfinals on clay recently, Baszak is a young Polish player with very limited tour experience. Baszak could rise to the occasion playing at home, but Sasnovich is a clear favorite to get her tournament off to a good start. Sasnovich in 2
Katarzyna Kawa vs Tereza Mrdeza
Kawa has struggled greatly this season, Mrdeza has been very poor in her career at the WTA tour level but has found success on the ITF circuit the last couple of seasons. Mrdeza will be the favorite to advance in what looks like a relatively even match. Mrdeza in 3
Irina Camelia Begu vs Ysaline Bonaventure
Begu is 8-10 on the season and has struggled to sustain any momentum, Bonaventure has found some momentum in recent weeks, 3-1 in her recent matches. Begu is the favorite but an upset is possible here. Bonaventure in 3
