Key factors
- Linda Fruhvirtova has lost 7 of her last 8 matches.

⭐ Editor's Pick
The form and stats edge belongs to Anastasia Zakharova: more wins, a better hold percentage, and a positive head-to-head record going into the tournament. Even if her opponent makes it competitive, Zakharova's overall level points to a win. The pick is Anastasia Zakharova to win the match.
