It\u2019s being billed as \u201cSuper Tuesda,y\u201d and with good reason. A superstar list of talent will take to the grass at the Mallorca Open. Day 2, still consisting of opening round play, will see top seed Angelique Kerber, 2018 finalist Anastasija Sevastova, teenage phenom Amanda Anisimova, and former World #1s Maria Sharapova and Victoria Azarenka looking to punch their ticket to the second round. But, who will come through and who\u2019ll be packing their bags? Let\u2019s look at predictions for who\u2019ll claim a second round spot. (In addition to this set of predictions, we also have predictions for four more Day 2 matches, featuring Maria Sharapova vs Victoria Kuzmova<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

Alize Cornet vs Sara Sorribes Tormo<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Head to head:\u00a0<\/strong>No history<\/p>\n

Sorribes Tormo gained a main draw spot after defeating Johanna Larsson in qualifying. The young Spaniard is a capable player who makes herself vulnerable due to a weak serve. No doubt, Sorribes Tormo will be able to keep rallies long and wear down France\u2019s Alize Cornet. And, she\u2019ll need to take advantage of every opportunity to come to the net and end points. Cornet has a tough task ahead in besting Sorribes Tormo. In a like-minded game of wearing down the opponent, it\u2019s likely the Spaniard will come out the winner.
\nPrediction: Sorribes Tormo in 3<\/em><\/p>\n
