Katie Volynets vs Ajla Tomljanovic prediction
Katie Volynets has yet to reach a career final on the WTA Tour. However, she has shown more promise on clay courts so far. Two of three finals on the ITF circuit and her only Challenger final have come on the red dirt.
Tomljanovic has reached three hard-court finals in her career so far. The last hard-court final came for the Australian back in 2019 when she reached the final of the Hua Hin championships. She lost 2-6, 6-2, 6-7 (3) against Dayana Yastremska.
Tomljanovic is the more accomplished player on the Tour, but given their respective forms, Volynets is the favorite to win the upcoming match.
Pick- Volynets to win in straight sets
