The event does not have the strongest entry list, being right after Wimbledon. However, the ranking points are still there for the taking, which makes it a great opportunity for those who are in the draw. So who will advance to the second round? Let&#8217;s look at the matches.

She&#8217;s a recent Top 100 player and has performed admirably against solid players. Cristian has been stronger on hard courts than on clay this year. This should be a tight match, but don&#8217;t be shocked if Jorovic pulls it off.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Jorovic in 3<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a id=\"ESqozhCARcN_wJjWRFNu_g\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1149687846\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'ESqozhCARcN_wJjWRFNu_g',sig:'R2VTz3JZ-SjMIqfodS1gO-14D1D-p6EBY2BrTDaw98M=',w:'477px',h:'594px',items:'1149687846',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<h4>Aliaksandra Sasnovich vs Timea Babos<\/h4>\n<p>Sasnovich is a huge talent who for some reason just can&#8217;t perform outside of big events. She is good for upsets every once in a while, but she&#8217;s hard to rely on. Then again, Babos is in her decline and hasn&#8217;t been playing well at all recently. She can definitely lose this match if she tries, but Sasnovich should be considered the favorite.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Sasnovich in 2<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a id=\"-zxEnTXjRHdL5NEzhUyEvg\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1231794306\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'-zxEnTXjRHdL5NEzhUyEvg',sig:'Y7rNZkYYpxnRBHOZ9n6Ghw3pg_yRgk6_gyaZDijtxjQ=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1231794306',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<h4>Danielle Collins vs Martina Di Giuseppe<\/h4>\n<p>Collins has been impressive on tour after her <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/tennis\/2021\/05\/30\/danielle-collins-endometriosis-french-open\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">surgery for endometriosis<\/a>.
