Although Frech has beaten Ferro once on the tour, it was a long time back and holds no significance now. In the last couple of years Ferro has improved her game drastically and has two WTA titles to show for it. Ferro’s greatest strength remains her mental strength and she has publicly talked about working on it. Ferro should win this match.
Match Prediction: Fiona Ferro to beat Magdalena Frech in straight sets.
