Louisa Chirico vs Erika Andreeva prediction

Louisa Chirico got past the qualifying stage with victories over Ana Konjuh and Kasja Rinaldo Persson. Her form leading up to this run has been poor, with losses in the first round of qualifying for both the ATX and Miami Open. However, she has already performed well on clay in the past, having made the semi-finals of the 2024 Swedish Open and won a clay-court event in Charleston earlier that year.

Despite her higher ranking, Erika Andreeva has struggled in recent times, having not got past the qualifying stage in both Abu Dhabi and Qatar, while also losing in the first round in Miami.

Neither player is in the best of form for this encounter but we think Andreeva, who is ranked 69 places above her opponent despite her relative youth, should have enough for victory.
