After having an amazing clay court swing this season where she reached the third round of the French Open and the final of Bad Homburg Open, Katerina Siniakova hasn’t been in her best form since then. She then reached the Round of 16 at Wimbledon and made it to the quarterfinal of the Prague Open. Latest, she bowed out of the second round of the US Open and was knocked out of the opening round of Ostrava Open.

As for her opponent, Kim Clijsters, she returned to the WTA tour last week at the Chicago Fall Tennis Classic where she lost to Hsieh Su-wei in the opening round. Clijsters, who is 38 is adamant that she will be back to her near best very soon. She showed glimpses of her brilliance and even took a set against Hsieh.

This will be the first meeting between the duo. The two haven’t met on tour yet and hence the H2H stands deadlock at 0-0.

Given that Clijsters hasn’t played much tennis, Katerina Siniakova will enter the match as a huge favorite but she will be wary of Clijsters’ experience. The Belgian has a massive forehand and could be as lethal as the old times. Expect her to take a set but Siniakova should win the match and cruise into the second round.

Prediction: Siniakova to win in three sets
