Both of these players are still at the beginning of their careers and should feature more on the WTA&#8217;s highest levels in the future. For now the advantage goes to Juvan. <strong>Juvan in 2<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Sara Sorribes Tormo vs Lesia Tsurenko<\/h3>\n<div class=\"getty embed image\" style=\"background-color: #fff; display: inline-block; font-family: Roboto,sans-serif; color: #a7a7a7; font-size: 11px; width: 100%; max-width: 594px;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; text-align: left;\"><a style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1230882582\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"overflow: hidden; position: relative; height: 0; padding: 66.66667% 0 0 0; width: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display: inline-block; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0;\" src=\"\/\/embed.gettyimages.com\/embed\/1230882582?et=Xoz2c9MZRshLR9Usk7qrmA&amp;tld=com&amp;sig=lpkPMiM7RCIjKJtwrRK3BuAJlKJTmL5k1o-_cSIio2A=&amp;caption=true&amp;ver=1\" width=\"594\" height=\"396\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Tsurenko is a significant distance away from her former top 25 ranking, while Sorribes Tormo is playing some of the best tennis of her career. Tsurenko has made a good start to the year including qualifying for the main draw here but SST is coming off the title in Guadalajara last week and also has a quarterfinal this season. Presuming fatigue doesn&#8217;t weight her down, advantage to Sorribes Tormo. <strong>Sorribes Tormo in 2<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Main Photo:<\/p>\n<div class=\"getty embed image\" style=\"background-color: #fff; display: inline-block; font-family: Roboto,sans-serif; color: #a7a7a7; font-size: 11px; width: 100%; max-width: 594px;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; text-align: left;\"><a style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1231092768\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"overflow: hidden; position: relative; height: 0; padding: 66.66667% 0 0 0; width: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display: inline-block; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0;\" src=\"\/\/embed.gettyimages.com\/embed\/1231092768?et=plnSvw97TbxSz3lWJ-YiWQ&amp;tld=com&amp;sig=F-MCsBl3M0nbOgjpeXd-kwTy2bKazYB5odLN0TmrRqU=&amp;caption=true&amp;ver=1\" width=\"594\" height=\"396\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We have predictions for all of the day 2 matches at WTA Monterrey including matches featuring Eugenie Bouchard and Nadia Podoroska.
