Elena Svitolina vs Jil Teichmann prediction

Elena Svitolina makes her first clay court appearance of the season here, having not played for nearly three weeks after losing in the third-round of Miami. She lost a tight first set tiebreak before going on to lose in straight sets to Iga Swiatek. The Ukrainian has won matches this season but has struggled to match the form which took her all the way to the quarter-finals of the Australian Open in January.

Jil Teichmann had a really impressive February, reaching the quarter-finals of the Singapore Tennis and winning a WTA 125k event in Mumbai. Her recent form has been less impressive with an early exit at both Indian Wells and an event in Antalya. She did reach a fourth-round at Roland Garros three years ago and can perform on the clay, so Svitolina can not afford a slow start.

The head-to-head is 2-2 between the pair, but Svitolina just defeated Teichmann in the Billie Jean Cup merely days ago which should give her a psychological edge. We expect her to win this one too.
