Here, we will look at four matches on the card, including Iga Swiatek vs Bernarda Pera, and give our predictions on who will progress. Will WTA Rome Day 3 see any surprises, or will the matches go according to script?<\/p>\n<h2>WTA Rome Day 3 Predictions<\/h2>\n<h4>Emma Navarro vs Paula Badosa<\/h4>\n<p>Head to Head: First Meeting<\/p>\n<p>Emma Navarro is the 21st seed and will be looking to progress. The American has only made a quarter-final in the build-up, and that was in a WTA 125 event. Paula Badosa eased through her first round match. The Spaniard did not get to the second round in Madrid, so is already ahead. This should be a straightforward match for the seed<\/p>\n<p><em>Prediction: Navarro in 2.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>[tgdcta items=&#8221;1&#8243; id=&#8221;170472&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h4>Sorana Cirstea vs Brenda Fruhvirtova<\/h4>\n<p>Head to Head: First Meeting<\/p>\n<p>Sorana Cirstea is the 28th seed here in Rome. In Madrid the Romanian was 27th seed and lost to the eventual champion in the third round. Cirstea will want to improve her clay form, and this could be the best chance to date. <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/tennis\/2024\/05\/07\/wta-rome-day-2-predictions-dolehide-pera\/\" target=\"_self\">Brenda Fruhvirtova<\/a> battled through the first round against American Taylor Townsend to get here. Another tough match is on the cards here.<\/p>\n<p><em>Prediction: Cirstea in 3.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a id=\"fHFJwRqaRA9Rvty3FSzd6A\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/2149822895\" 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:'fHFJwRqaRA9Rvty3FSzd6A',sig:'nYEIcfKhuz1DyX-_8D4TAROlOpzQ4lIoskalf_AojJk=',w:'594px',h:'406px',items:'2149822895',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<h4>Camila Osorio vs Madison Keys<\/h4>\n<p>Head to Head: First Meeting<\/p>\n<p>Camila Osorio needed the distance in her first round match. The Columbian didn&#8217;t qualify for Madrid, but made the semi final of the WTA 125 event in Spain last week. Madison Keys is the 18th seed and made the semi final in Madrid, so will be in confident form. This will be a good match, but should be in favour of the American.<\/p>\n<p><em>Prediction: Keys in 3.<\/em><\/p>\n<h4>Iga Swiatek vs Bernarda Pera<\/h4>\n<p>Head to Head: 2:0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/sport\/tennis\/1896657\/Iga-Swiatek-Carlos-Alcaraz-Daniil-Medvedev-Jannik-Sinner\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Iga Swiatek<\/a> is the top seed and won Madrid. The Pole is on a very good run at the moment, but anything can happen in tennis. Swiatek already has won 3 titles this season at the 1000 level, so this shows how good she is. Bernarda Pera qualified and then beat fellow American in the first round. With the form that Swiatek is in, it is very unlikely that Pera will get beyond the top seed here.<\/p>\n<p><em>Prediction: Swiatek in 2.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>[tgdcta items=&#8221;1&#8243; id=&#8221;170466&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Main Photo Credit: Jayne Kamin-Oncea &#8211; USA TODAY Sports<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WTA Rome Day 3 brings the seeds into play.
