CRISTINA BUCSA VS ELISABETTA COCCIARETTO PREDICTION

World number 51 Elisabetta Cocciaretto came back from a set down to upset Beatriz Haddad-Maia, a semi-finalist last season, on Monday to build on some recent form on her favoured clay. The 23-year-old was upset in the quarter-finals of the Rabat Open last week but she has otherwise needed the likes of Caroline Garcia, Victoria Azarenka and Magda Linette to oust her on clay this swing and she reached the third round here last summer to bring experience into the mix.

World number 73 Cristina Bucsa beat qualifier Yuliia Starobudtseva in straight sets on Monday to snap a four-match losing streak on tour – started by the aforementioned Rakhimova in the quarter-finals of the Bogota Open last month. The Spaniard won the Women’s Doubles title at the Madid Open alongside Sara Sorribes Tormo earlier this month to bring some winning form on clay but Cocciaretto is the more comfortable played in these conditions. Back the Italian to build on her early upset with victory here.
