THE PREDICTION
World number 11 Barbora Krejcikova was expected to come through her first round match against Zarina Diyas in straight sets but needed less than one in the end as the Kazakh was forced to retire through injury. The Czech remains the most in-form woman on tour right now having won three of her last tournaments at the Strasbourg Open, Roland-Garros and last week at the Prague Open. Krejcikova’s meteoric rise from Singles obscurity, having been an excellent doubles player for most of her career, is nothing short of incredible and she is a definite contender for a medal at the Olympic Games.
Canada’s 18-year-old tennis prodigy Leylah Fernandez played well to beat Dayana Yastremska in the first round yesterday but this is a totally different prospect. Krejcikova has lost only twice since April and both times to the eventual champions of those tournaments. Take her to blast through this in two.
