Marta will come into the clash with a career indoor Hardcourt record of 11-5 and is 3-0 on the surface this season while having a season record of 25-16 across all surfaces. Simona will take the court with a career indoor Hardcourt 52-34 and is 5-1 on indoor Hardcourts for the season and has a 21-9 record across all surfaces this season.
Looking at these numbers, their past performances and recent results, Simona Halep will be the favourite for the tie but can certainly expect a stern challenge from Marta who will look to cause another upset but Simona’s experience and better consistency should take her to the finals.
Prediction: Simona Halep to win in 3-sets.
