Iga Swiatek vs Belinda Bencic: Prediction 

Iga Swiatek

Swiatek has a good all round game that has power and touch as well. She can serve well, play powerfully on both flanks and also execute a drop shot beautifully. Bencic has power aplenty but sometimes is inconsistent in her execution. Swiatek is the player in form and should win this match.

Iga Swiatek to win against Belinda Bencic in three sets.
