The 28-year old American player Sloane Stephens has competed only in one tournament previous to the WTA Guadalajara 2022 this year. The six-time ATP title winner got knocked out by the 18-year old British player Emma Radacanu in the first round of the Australian Open (0-6, 6-2, 1-6). In the Guadalajara tournament, Stephens made it to the finals after beating Daria Saville in the quarterfinals (4-6, 6-3, 6-2) and getting a walkover against the Russian Anna Kalinskaya after two sets ( 3-6, 7-5 ).

12-time ITF title winner Marie Bouzková hadn’t shown much development prior to the WTA Guadalajara 2022. She got eliminated within the first two rounds of her previous tournaments, starting from the Adelaide International 1 to the Australian Open, where she lost to Kaia Kanepi in straight sets (2-6, 6-7). The Czech player lost only one set in her current tournament, defeating Sara Sorribes Tormo (6-4, 6-1) in the quarterfinals and Wang Qiang (6-3, 6-3)in the semifinals in straight sets.

Sloane Stephens is the seventh seed of the tournament and is also ranked higher than her opponent, giving her a slight upper hand in today’s match. This match will also be a chance for Stephens to get back her win after two years. However, Marie Bouzková, though she hasn’t displayed a very stable game, has prevailed over the American in their previous encounter. She will try to increase the gap further today.

Prediction: Marie Bouzková is expected to win in three sets.
