Greek player Maria Sakkari has shown her survival skills against tough opponents by improving her game over every tournament she plays. She is also ranked higher than the Czechia player, who has let her fans down by not being able to cross her limits and constraints. However, she has reached the third round and will not let this chance slip by her. On the other hand, Sakkari will make sure to get the win she has been fighting for. This match will be a tough one to predict.

Prediction: Maria Sakkari is expected to win in two sets.
