Rogers has not yet won a WTA Title, but she is playing at home and is hungry for success so this might be her best chance of winning her maiden title. Rogers is a former Quarter-finalist on clay, and there is no denying or doubting her talent on this surface. Liu will have to do something extraordinary to get anything out of this match. 

Match Prediction: Shelby Rogers will beat Claire Liu in straight sets.
