Shelby Rogers breezed past Maddison Inglis defeating the Australian 6-1, 6-3 in the first round. Rogers last played in the Billie Jean King Cup Finals losing her only rubber.

Maria will come into the tie with a career hardcourt record of 166-115 and was 23-13 on the surface last season while she finished the 2021 season with a record of 38-20 across all surfaces. Rogers will take the court with a career hardcourt record of 144-107 and was 20-12 on the surface last season and had a 29-23 record for the season across all surfaces.

Looking at these numbers and considering their form in the 2021 season, Sakkari looks like the winner but it won’t be a cakewalk as Rogers was fantastic in the first match and can surely spice up the match.

Match Prediction: Maria Sakkari to win in 3-sets.
