Anastasija Sevastova vs Jelena Ostapenko prediction

Anastasija Sevastova finally picked up her first win against Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova at the ninth time of asking, winning 6-4 7-5. She had the chances to make the result far more comfortable, winning just four out of 16 break point opportunities but should still be encouraged about the amount of chances she was able to produce. This was a huge moment for the player after a long time out with injury. 

She has a very tough second-round match against Jelena Ostapenko. The Latvian is fresh off her wonderful victory at the Stuttgart Open. She defeated seventh seed Emma Navarro before going on to beat the top two players in the world, Iga Swiatek and Aryna Sabalenka to win the title. Performances such as these highlight just how good Ostapenko can be at her best, especially on clay with her French Open win now almost eight years ago.

Ostapenko is flying high after her title win and should be fancied for a sixth straight win.
