Bernarda Pera of the USA will take on Eva Lys of Germany in the second round of the 2024 Hungarian Grand Prix.

The 2024 season for Pera has not been a successful one. The American player had a decent run at Wimbledon before she lost to Jelena Ostapenko in the third round. She was able to win against 23rd-seeded Caroline Garcia in the second round.

Pera does not have any other noteworthy results this year so far. Her clay court record before the Hungarian Grand Prix was 2-3. She lost against Varvara Gracheva in the second round at Roland Garros. At the Hungarian Grand Prix, Pera defeated Tamara Korpatsch in the first round in three tight sets.

Eva Lys has a record of 15-10 for the season. But most of it has been playing at qualifiers, Challenger events, and WTA 125 tournaments. At Wimbledon, Lys defeated former Grand Slam semi-finalist Amanda Anisimova in the last round of qualifying. However, in the main draw, she bowed out in the first round, losing to Clara Burel of France.

Lys does not have a good record on clay this season. She lost against Caroline Garcia in the first round at Roland Garros. However, the German has started her campaign at the Hungarian Grand Prix with a dominant win of 6-3, 6-0 over sixth-seeded Nadia Podoroska in the first round.

Bernarda Pera vs Eva Lys prediction

Both Pera and Lys are struggling for form coming into this contest. Pera has struggled to put forward a good performance in any of the tournaments that she has played in the season so far. Her form on the clay surface has also not been inspiring.

However, Eva Lys was in great form against a seeded player like Podoroska in the previous round. The German showed great form while returning the serve of her opponent, winning 64 percent of the return points in the match. She was extremely successful on her opponent's second serve, winning 86 percent of the return points on the second serve.

Even though Pera is the higher-ranked player, recent form gives Lys a slight advantage going into the match.

Pick - Lys to win in three sets.
