Alycia Parks, meanwhile, relies on her big serve and first-strike tennis, which can be hit or miss at times. If the rallies extend, Bejlek could start to wear her down but the match will likely swing on how well Parks serves.<\/p>\n<p>Prediction: Bejlek in 3<\/p>\n<h4>Jessika Ponchet vs Barbora Palicova<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Head-to-Head:<\/strong> first meeting<\/p>\n<p>Neither player came into Prague with a lot of recent match wins, but both handled their openers well. Barbora Palicova\u2019s game looked more fluid than it has in weeks, and playing at home could give her a little extra lift. Jessica Ponchet prefers faster conditions, so keeping points short might be her best chance. A few key moments could decide this one.<\/p>\n<p>Prediction: Palicova in 3<\/p>\n<h4>Dominika Salkova vs Katerina Siniakova<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Head-to-Head:<\/strong> first meeting<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a tricky one for Katerina Siniakova, who hasn\u2019t been at her best this season and has struggled to find rhythm in recent outings. Dominika Salkova, on the other hand, is playing freely and will play with less pressure on her shoulders as every match is an opportunity to further her progress at this level. If Siniakova doesn\u2019t raise her level early, this could get tense. Expect the crowd to be vocal in what could be a tight contest. Siniakova\u2019s experience at this level however should come clutch in crucial moments.<\/p>\n<p>Prediction: Siniakova in 2<\/p>\n<h4>Linda Noskova vs Elisabetta Cocciaretto<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Head-to-Head:<\/strong> first meeting<\/p>\n<div class=\"getty embed image\" style=\"background-color: #fff; display: inline-block; font-family: Roboto,sans-serif; color: #a7a7a7; font-size: 11px; width: 100%; max-width: 594px;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; text-align: left;\"><a style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/2224112696\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"overflow: hidden; position: relative; height: 0; padding: 66.498314% 0 0 0; width: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display: inline-block; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0;\" src=\"\/\/embed.gettyimages.com\/embed\/2224112696?et=Sgph0CQKSwtONPfkPqVTgQ&amp;tld=com&amp;sig=fHWxIRHDsumLH9iebrT1M_CLXyyoyvXDC5dSxBfNMt4=&amp;caption=true&amp;ver=1\" width=\"594\" height=\"395\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Both have had solid moments this year, and this matchup feels like it could go either way depending on who strikes first. Linda Noskova had to fight hard in round one but showed plenty of grit, while Elisabetta Cocciaretto looked composed from start to finish. If Noskova controls the baseline, she\u2019ll have the edge but Cocciaretto won\u2019t go away easily. Could be one of the best matches of the round.<\/p>\n<p>Prediction: Noskova in 3<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo Credit: Andy Abeyta\/The Desert Sun \/ USA TODAY NETWORK<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The early rounds in Prague have already delivered a mix of dominant performances and narrow escapes.
