Aryna Sabalenka vs Stefanie Vogele: Match Prediction

Aryna Sabalenka

Sabalenka is a heavy favourite to win this tournament. Hence, she is likely to breeze past Vogele in today’s battle. Vogele will look to re-establish herself on the tour. However, this stands to be the last tournament for the WTA tour. Plus, she has suffered first round losses in the last two tournaments that she contended in.  

Match Prediction: Sabalenka wins in straight sets.
