Petra Martic vs Fiona Ferro: Match Preview
Second seed Martic is coming into this tournament with three consecutive losses. Her last decent outing was at the Phillip Island Trophy, where she reached the Quarter-final stage of the tournament. In the Quarters she was beaten by Daria Kasatkina. Martic has a good track record on clay and would hope that a change of surface would help her rediscover her touch.
Her first round opponent is Fiona Ferro. Last month Ferro reached the Semi-final of the hard court event in Lyon. In the Semi-finals she lost to Viktorija Golubic of Switzerland. In 2020, Ferro won her second WTA Tour title, defeating Anett Kontaveit in the final of the Palermo Open.
Petra Martic vs Fiona Ferro: Head-to-Head
These two players have met once on the tour before. It was on the hard courts of Zhengzhou in 2019, an encounter which Martic won in three sets, 3-6 6-1 6-2. So, Martic leads the head to head 1-0.
Petra Martic vs Fiona Ferro: Prediction
Martic has played well on clay before. She is a former champion at this very event, 2019, and reached the Quarter-final of the French Open that same year. Ferro is also most comfortable on clay, and it will be interesting to see how she plays against Martic. It will be a tight game of tennis, and can go either way.
Match Prediction: Petra Martic will beat Fiona Ferro in three sets.
