Simona Halep vs Marketa Vondrousova: Match Preview

Halep is coming off a month long injury lay off. She sustained the injury in the Miami Masters last month and couldn’t take the court in the round of thirty-two encounter against Anastasija Sevastova. Halep won the French Open in 2018, she won the Madrid Open in 2019, and the Italian Open in Rome in 2020. This is 2021, and Halep will like to win the Stuttgart Open and complete the holy quadruple on clay.

Halep had a bye in the first round, in the second she will face the twenty-one year old from Czech Republic Marketa Vondrousova. Vondrousova plays her best tennis on clay. She is a former French Open Finalist, in 2019, and also a Semi-finalist at the Italian Open last year. In her first round encounter at the Stuttgart Open, she beat twenty-two year old Marie Bouzkova.

Halep is making a comeback on tour after a month and that too on clay. So, she might take time to adjust. Vondrousova let her opponent come back in the game in the last match, and let the match stretch for more than two hours. If Halep plays to her potential, she should win this.  

Match Prediction: Simona Halep will beat Marketa Vondrousova in three sets.
