Samsonova seems like the more logical choice here, especially having already played a match this week whilst Sabalenka received an opening round bye. However, Sabalenka&#8217;s recent form is actually quite strong and I&#8217;d say her best tennis is better than Samsonova&#8217;s and she might enjoy this matchup.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Sabalenka in 3<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a id=\"Kf3Yz5sFSR1VWp9PFCC0sA\" class=\"gie-single\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1433446191\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;\" 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:'Kf3Yz5sFSR1VWp9PFCC0sA',sig:'VAV97lsQgXeQ_WiWnARTurjUjSnIPOB8FM6s3JyA1Uc=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1433446191',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<h4>Katerina Siniakova vs Martina Trevisan<\/h4>\n<h4>H2H: Siniakova 1-0.<\/h4>\n<p>Martina Trevisan has been in horrible form ever since her shock run to the semifinals at <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/tennis\/french-open\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Roland Garros<\/a> earlier this year. Meanwhile, Siniakova is showing some good signs of late with a win over Beatriz Haddad Maia in the previous round.

Osorio&#8217;s form is generally very inconsistent whilst Bouzkova has become one of the more reliable players on tour. Bouzkova is the obvious choice.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Bouzkova in 2<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a id=\"5vutoJYkTO5FnVGuB-qF4w\" class=\"gie-single\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1415262637\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;\" 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:'5vutoJYkTO5FnVGuB-qF4w',sig:'DwmUfkCh0p6huWUnWwqysh-WghsJ86QDOq4_5UeDcCA=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1415262637',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<h4>Belinda Bencic vs Sloane Stephens<\/h4>\n<h4>H2H: Stephens 1-0.<\/h4>\n<p>Belinda Bencic vs Sloane Stephens is a fun matchup between two talented players. You never quite know what to expect from Stephens, but a good effort is generally expected at a higher level event like this. Nevertheless, Bencic is a better competitor and has a higher base level these days. I&#8217;d expect the more disciplined Bencic to get the job done in the end.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Bencic in 3<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Main Photo from Getty.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Second round matchups continue on Wednesday, Day 3 at the inaugural WTA 1000 level event in Guadalajara.
