Sara Errani

Sara Errani has the mental edge over Kiki Bertens in this match as she has beaten her opponent on all of their previous 5 meetings. Sara Errani is an experienced clay courter having made the finals of the French Open in 2012.

Also given, Kiki Bertens’s recent struggles, Sara Errani has a good opportunity to defeat Kiki Bertens and progress into Round 3. However, to defeat the 5th seed, Sara Errani has to play the quality of tennis she has played in the past few days.
