IGA SWIATEK VS PETRA MARTIC PREDICTION
Iga Swiatek looked like a player very much on any mission vs Sofia Kenin, another grand slam winner and as we’ve seen in the past when Swiatek is on a roll, she is desperately difficult to stop. With the draw having opened up following the exit of Marketa Vondrousova, Swiatek will likely be even more motivated Petra Martic faces a big challenge.
Although Martic isn’t a player to be underestimated and does possess weapons within her game that could hurt Swiatek, the Pole is the more rounded player and winning is a habit where she is concerned. Expect Swiatek to maintain that habit and get the better of Martic in two.
