Petra will come into the clash with a career hardcourt record of 259-131 and a season record of 15-8 on the surface having gone 26-14 across all surfaces this season. Maria will take the court with a career hardcourt record of 160-111 and an 18-9 season record on the surface while having a 28-14 record across all surfaces this season.

Both the players have a good record on hardcourts and will be beaming with confidence having reached the 3rd round without dropping a set. However, looking at their recent results and form this week, Sakkari seems the one to advance ahead but Petra will not go down without putting a fight.

Prediction: Maria Sakkari to win in 3-sets.
