The Swiss has excellent timing though and should be a threat in this event again. Danka Kovinic is definitely no pushover though and after a solid start to the year, the Montenegro native will pose some questions here, especially helped out by her underrated serve.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Golubic in 3<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a id=\"CE3WmeeqR5ZdJFSaHJa5lw\" class=\"gie-single\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1398873214\" 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:'CE3WmeeqR5ZdJFSaHJa5lw',sig:'kf9G_ppbod8vUqbyC-wF1C5j9QlXxlQMJb3jvZtfQyY=',w:'594px',h:'398px',items:'1398873214',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<h4>Anna Bondar vs Nuria Parrizas-Diaz<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Head-to-head: <\/strong>Bondar 2-1<\/p>\n<p>Anna Bondar leads the head-to-head, but both her wins came on clay courts. It was Nuria Parrizas-Diaz who defeated her in the final of an ITF event in Potchefstroom two years ago. Indoor conditions should favor the Spaniard here as she&#8217;s a player who enjoys controlling the rallies and looking for opportunities to wrap points up quickly. She&#8217;s also had a nice start to the year, including the upset over Beatriz Haddad Maia at the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/tennis\/australian-open\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Australian Open<\/a>.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Parrizas-Diaz in 3<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a id=\"T-zkbsitTH9JWMQlXOxwaQ\" class=\"gie-single\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1246404239\" 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:'T-zkbsitTH9JWMQlXOxwaQ',sig:'c00b2PUcpviuKrq6Fmv9yMsXMQPxQZNDiJ1M8dkgFH8=',w:'594px',h:'369px',items:'1246404239',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<h4>Caroline Garcia vs Tereza Martincova<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Head-to-head: <\/strong>Garcia 3-2<\/p>\n<p>This has been a very topsy-turvy head-to-head with Caroline Garcia claiming wins in beatdowns like 6-1 6-0 or 6-3 6-0, but also losing to Tereza Martincova twice on clay. She also struggled to take the Czech down on hard courts once, only managing to snatch a 7-5 in the third thriller.

They both enjoy indoor conditions, but Garcia&#8217;s arsenal of weapons is just basically unlimited and perhaps even the biggest on Tour.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Garcia in 2<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Main Photo from Getty.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seven singles matches are on Tuesday&#8217;s schedule for the WTA Open 6e Sens Metropole de Lyon.
