In the week preceding the US Open<\/a>, we have a surprisingly well-attended WTA 250 in Cleveland as the players look to get warmed up for the final Slam of the year. On Day 4, we’re looking to predict the outcomes of Mirra Andreeva’s continued introduction to the tour against Sloane Stephens and a big hitting affair between Aliaksandra Sasnovich and Ekaterina Alexandrova, along with a couple of other matches.<\/p>\n

WTA Cleveland Day 4 Predictions<\/h2>\n

Anhelina Kalinina vs Tatjana Maria<\/h4>\n

Head-to-head: Kalinina 1-0 Maria<\/p>\n

It’s been slim pickings for Anhelina Kalinina since Rome. Her game is inherently a little more defensive so she does leave herself slightly exposed on hard courts. At the same time, Tatjana Maria might not be the worst match-up for the Ukranian. Maria’s slices will be less effective against Kalinina and she won’t be able to blow her off the court like most.<\/p>\n

Maria is fresh off a tough WTA-125 in Barranquilla, however, having lost only 14 games in five matches… Hard to go against that kind of consistency unless the player is a\u00a0seriously<\/em> big hitter.
\nPrediction: Maria in 2<\/em><\/p>\n
