WTA Guadalajara Day 3 predictions, including Jelena Ostapenko vs Marina Stakusic

As expected from a tournament played the week just after the United States Open, the Guadalajara tournament this week does not offer exactly a star field, with the # 22 Elise Mertens the seeder n ° 1 here. She will make her debut next Wednesday, just like Jelena Ostapenko, who is probably the deepest player in the draw. Despite the lack of best players, it should be a very exciting and unpredictable tournament throughout the week.

WTA Guadalajara Day 3 predictions

Darja Vidman vs Nikola Bartunkova

Tête-à-tête: Vidmanova 1-0 Bartunkava

Regarding the ranking, it is easily the worst match of the day, but it presents a great chance for the two players to make a rare quarter -final of the WTA, so the two players will surely be extremely motivated to play their best tennis here. Just like their previous meeting in 2020, this should be a very close match, decided by which holds its nerve and performs better in the key points.

Prediction: Vidman and 3

Rebecca Marino vs Tatjana Maria

Tête-à-tête: Marino 2-1 Maria

Maria’s classification is roughly supported by her grass excellence and the same goes for this tête-à-tête, Maria winning the only match on Grass and Marino winning the remaining matches. Despite the classification gap, on a hard field, Marino should make it a very competitive match and has an excellent chance of obtaining another victory in this match.

Prediction: Marino in 3

Elise Mertens vs elsa jacquemot

Tête-à-tête: first meeting

Mertens is seed n ° 1 of this event, but it does not have an easy first round at all. Jacquemot has played good tennis lately, especially in her first round here, where she beat Maria Sakkari with a bagel by dropping only two games in total. If it can maintain this high level of play, it may well continue its race here.

Prediction: Jacquemot in 3

Victoria Jimenez Kasintseva vs Veronika Kudermetova

Tête-à-tête: first meeting

Kudermetova has undergone a very disappointing defeat in the first round at the US Open and will seek to make amends here; On paper, she obtained a very nice draw here against a player classified nearly 100 places below her. Even given how much she has had trouble in recent times, if Kudermetova plays near her normal level, she should move forward with relative ease here.

Prediction: Kudermetova and 2

Overnage of deer vs Marina Stakusic

Tête-à-tête: Stakusic 1-0 Ostapenko

Stakusic won this match in this tournament last year in a third equality break, so Ostapenko will seek to take revenge for his return to the courts after the open controversy of the United States with Taylor Townsend. Ostapenko knows for her extreme inconsistency, so it is very difficult to predict which version of her we will get here. If she plays a decent level, she should be able to obtain the victory this time.

Prediction: Ostapenko in 3
