Poland’s own Katarzyna Kawa seeks an upset in round 2 of the WTA Gdynia tournament against Irina-Camelia Begu, Nuria Parrizas-Diaz is also in action. Here are all your predictions as the quarterfinals will be settled on the clay.
Kateryna Kozlova vs Aliaksandra Sasnovich
Kozlova has won the last 3 meetings (3-1 h2h), and has been in good form. Sasnovich is higher ranked but nothing in her recent tournament outings is very impressive. Kozlova is a sensible upset pick here. Kozlova in 3
Ekaterine Gorgodze vs Varvara Lepchenko
Gorgodze won their only meeting, and has been strong in the qualifying stages of recent tournaments. Lepchenko had a challenging first round match, and Gorgodze looks well positioned to make it into the quarterfinals. Gorgodze in 2
Nuria Parrizas-Diaz vs Amina Anshba
Anshba won their only meeting, Diaz has had a career best season though and is in incredible form compared to Anshba who is ranked outside of the top 300. Anything is possible but Parrizas-Diaz will be a heavy favorite. Parrizas-Diaz in 2
Irina-Camelia Begu vs Katarzyna Kawa
Kawa got a quality opening round win but beating an opponent of Begu’s caliber looks like a tough ask. Begu looks set for a quarterfinal appearance and perhaps more. Begu in 2
Maryna Zanevska vs Viktoria Kuzmova
Zanevska won their only meeting, a semifinalist in Lausanne who has been strong on the ITF circuit, Zanevska is looking formidable. Kuzmova reached the quarterfinals in Prague but has otherwise struggled this season. Zanevska should continue her good form. Zanevska in 3
