Katie Volynets vs Simona Waltert prediction
Volynets has no WTA titles to her credit so far, but the American player has won three clay-court titles on the ITF Tour and the Challenger Tour combined. She won her last clay court titles in Makarska in 2024, with a 3-6, 6-2, 6-1 win over Mayar Sheriff in the final.
Waltert has no singles title on the WTA Tour, but she has a doubles title to her name. However, the Swiss player has three clay-court titles in the ITF Tour, the last of which came at the 2022 Amstelveen Open, where she won 7-6 (10), 6-0 against current Top-10 player Emma Navarro.
Volynets will be the favorite as she has a positive head-to-head against Waltert, and she is the second seed at the event.
