THE PREDICTION
Former world number one Victoria Azarenka conceded just three games to Elisabetta Cocciaretto on Wednesday, an excellent result on clay, as she aims to ride the momentum of her semi-final run at the Miami Open. 34-year-old Azarenka has enjoyed a searing start to 2024 but the Belarussian has typically thrived in the first third of the season throughout her career, with just one of her 21 WTA titles coming on clay at the Marbella Open back in 2011.
27-year-old Taylor Townsend will break inside the top 60 on tour for the first time after a stellar campaign so far, ousting Sofia Kenin before Ekaterina Alexandrova, who also reached the last four in Miami, in straight sets apiece. The American will receive a partisan atmosphere at this well-supported event in Charleston and her run to the third round in Miami two weeks ago saw her seriously threaten eventual runner-up Elena Rybakina in three sets. The suitably cautious approach looks like taking Azarenka to win at least a set, so consider a one-off on this match to see a decider.
TIP: TOTAL 3 SETS
