Linda Fruhvirtova vs Anna Blinkova prediction

Linda Fruhvirtova is playing some solid tennis at the moment, with the 19-year-old making it all the way to the final of the Puerto Vallarta Open, a WTA Challenger event, only two weeks ago but just coming up short against Jaqueline Cristian. 

Shen then made it through qualifying for this event with two hard-fought wins, both in three sets. She has won six of her last seven matches and could cause problems for Anna Blinkova despite being the much lower ranked player

Blinkova suffered a straight sets defeat to Ann Li last time out at the Charleston Open in what was a poor performance from the Russian. There needs to be an improvement in aspects of her game as she prepares for the challenge of Fruhvirtova in what will be her second clay court tournament of the year.

We can see a tight match between the pair as Fruhvirtova is currently performing well, but Blinkova is still decent value to come out on top.
