Iga Świątek vs Jil Teichmann: Prediction 

Iga Świątek

Świątek is only nineteen but she has already announced herself on the WTA tour with some great performances. Her favourite player is Rafael Nadal and that is apparent in her style of play. She has a great serve and runs down all balls. This may be her breakout year on the circuit.

Teichmann is a left handed player. Her rise has been steady on the circuit and she has qualified for two Grand Slams back to back, the French and the Australian Open. Świątek though has too much power, class and ability to be bothered by Teichmann.

Match Prediction: Świątek will win this in straight sets.
