But which players will advance to the quarterfinals?<\/p>\n<h2>WTA Rabat Day 3 Predictions<\/h2>\n<h4>Arantxa Rus vs Maria Mateas<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Head-to-Head<\/strong>: first meeting<\/p>\n<p>Arantxa Rus came through a tough opener against lucky loser, Nicole Foussa Huergo, to get her first tour-level win of the season. This was an important win for the 34-year-old, and she will look to continue the momentum and get to another quarterfinal at the Morocco Open. Maria Mateas must be delighted after getting the first tour-level win of her career. However, facing a top 100 player would be a significant step up in level, and I&#8217;m not sure she&#8217;s up to the challenge right now.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Rus in 3<\/em><\/p>\n<h4>Jessica Bouzas Maneiro vs Sada Nahimana<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Head-to-Head<\/strong>: first meeting<\/p>\n<p>Jessica Bouzas Maneiro had to overcome Julia Grabher&#8217;s second-set comeback to win the match in the third. It was not a pretty match for her, but she got the job done and kept her first-round win streak alive at this clay season. Sada Nahimana created history for her Nation as she became the first ever Burundian to win a tour-level tennis match. It was a favourable opening match for Nahimana, and she made it count. Bouzas Maneiro would be a much difficult challenge, though.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Bouzas Maneiro in 2<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a  id=\"5Gwiw35aTURafSWvwWciOw\" class=\"gie-single\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/2193412322\" 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:'5Gwiw35aTURafSWvwWciOw',sig:'063utBPwzZMNtcFBsKkhB688SAR0xZDMu32qH5ITt4g=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'2193412322',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<h4>Ajla Tomljanovic vs Tatiana Pieri<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Head-to-Head<\/strong>: first meeting<\/p>\n<p>Ajla Tomljanovic has a fantastic record at the Morocco Open, and she is off to another great start, beating the #5 seed, Viktoriya Tomova, in three sets. It was a close match with lots of breaks, but Tomljanovic&#8217;s high first serve percentage proved to be the difference. The Australian will head into the second round as the favourite on paper against Tatiana Pieri, who had a dominant performance in the first round, but Tomljanovic would be a different calibre of opponent.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Tomljanovic in 2<\/em><\/p>\n<h4>Camila Osorio vs Kamilla Rakhimova<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Head-to-Head<\/strong>: Osorio 3-0 Rakhimova<\/p>\n<p>Camila Osorio had an extremely tough first-round test, and she passed it with flying colours. She is the highest seed remaining in the draw and will look to put herself in a position to win another title on clay. However, her draw doesn&#8217;t get much easier, as she faces another stern test against Kamilla Rakhimova, who breezed past her first-round opponent. These two have met three times before, with Osorio winning each time, and now on a five-set winning streak. I expect Rakhimova to fight hard, but I believe <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/tennis\/2019\/04\/12\/maria-camila-osorio-serrano-here-to-stay\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">the Colombian<\/a> will eventually prevail.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Osorio in 3<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Main Photo Credit: Geoff Burke-USA TODAY Sports<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Day 3 at the WTA Morocco Open in Rabat is packed with exciting matches as all eight second-round matches are scheduled.
