The WTA Libema Open in Den Bosch enters its second day, and it looks like more entertainment is guaranteed with the lineup scheduled for Day 2. We look at three matches in this piece and also predict the rest of the day\u2019s action in a separate article. But who do you think will advance?<\/p>\n

WTA Den Bosch Day 2 Predictions<\/h2>\n

Jessica Bouzas Maneiro vs Ajla Tomljanovic<\/h4>\n

Head\u2013to\u2013Head: <\/strong>Bouzas Maneiro 0 \u2013 1 Tomljanovic<\/p>\n

Jessica Bouzas Maneiro walks onto the Libema Open<\/a> as a player finding her footing on the WTA Tour this season, and grass has been good to her. Reaching Wimbledon<\/a>‘s Round of 16 last year is proof she belongs on this surface.<\/p>\n

Across the net, Ajla Tomljanovic arrives in Den Bosch carrying real baggage after a retirement in Birmingham, five straight defeats, nine losses in her last ten matches and the numbers paint a grim picture of a player battling both form and fitness. This first-round tie is for Bouzas Maneiro to take.
\nPrediction: Bouzas Maneiro in 2<\/em><\/p>\n

Tamara Korpatsch vs Elena-Gabriela Ruse<\/h4>\n

Head\u2013to\u2013Head<\/strong>: \u00a0Korpatsch 1 \u2013 0 Ruse<\/p>\n

Korpatsch arrives at Eastbourne with momentum and a story to tell, but the German hasn’t crossed the finish line when it mattered most, and the question isn’t whether she can compete; it’s whether she can close.<\/p>\n

Ruse is the ghost of finals past. Her run to the Eastbourne final last year as a qualifier was one of the tournament’s great underdog stories, and she steps onto grass with that belief intact, even after a retirement exit at Roland Garros. On a surface neither has faced before, that experience could be decisive.
\nPrediction: Ruse in 3<\/em><\/p>\n

Anastasia Potapova vs Suzan Lamens<\/h4>\n

Head\u2013to\u2013Head: <\/strong>Potapova 1 \u2013 0 Lamens<\/p>\n

Anastasia Potapova arrives riding the momentum of a clay season that announced her return to the top tier. She stunned defending champion Coco Gauff at Roland Garros<\/a>, pushed deep into Madrid, and climbed back inside the Top 30, form that makes her the unmistakable favorite heading into this grass-court opener.<\/p>\n

Standing in her way is local hope Suzan Lamens, who couldn’t even make it through qualifying at Roland Garros.<\/p>\n

Potapova has beaten Lamens before, and while grass isn’t her most comfortable surface, her confidence right now is hard to bet against. Expect Potapova to find a way through, even if Lamens makes her work for it.
\nPrediction: Potapova in 3<\/em><\/p>\n
