Sofia Kenin vs Jelena Ostapenko: Prediction
Both the players have won one match against each other which means they are well aware of their opponent’s playing styles and strategies. Also, both stars have won major titles in the past but did not get any luck in winning any title from the start of the season so they will strive to win this week. While Ostapenko has recent form, Kenin will come with a nothing-to-lose attitude because she has already dropped down the ranks. Expect a thriller with the American making it to the second round.
Prediction: Sofia Kenin to win in 3 sets.
