ARANTXA RUS VS MARIA SAKKARI PREDICTION

When considering just how dominant Maria Sakkari was over the course of her 3-6 1-6 beating of Mccartney Kessler, it’s easy to see why so many expect her to comfortably advance through to the third round. Whilst the confidence of Rus will have shot up following her first round win, this is an all-together different proposition against a player she has never beaten.

Grass remains Rus’ weakest suit and this should be exposed against a player of Sakkari’s quality, who has a superior game in all departments compared to her opponent on this surface, as she proved in 2021 when she thrashed Rus 6-1 6-1 at Wimbledon. Back Sakkari to ease through to the next round in straight sets.
