Maria Mateas vs Veronika Kudermetova prediction
Mateas is ranked 246 in the world and has played just once before this season, in a WTA 125K event in Cancun, in which she lost in the first round to Varvara Lepchenko in three sets.
Kudermetova was unfortunate to run into an in-form Mirra Andreeva in her second-round match in Miami, though she has struggled to make a deep run at a tournament since her fourth-round appearance at the Australian Open.
Nevertheless, she is a former quarter-finalist at the French Open in 2022 and is comfortable on clay. She should find no such problems against Mateas in her first-round match and we expect her to win in comfortable fashion.
