KUDRYATSEVA TO BEAT MARTINCOVA @ 6-5
Kudryatseva leads the head to head 1-0 winning on hard court in straight sets. Neither player is playing great tennis on hard courts, Martincova played well last week on clay but this is totally different here and I think she may struggle with the transition which she has done on the past. Stats are very similar but I just give the edge to the more experienced player to find a way to win here.

HOZUMI TO BEAT HSIEH @ 2-1 (NAP)
Hsieh leads the head to head 2-1 and on hard courts they are tied 1-1. Hozumi has been in excellent form on the lesser ITF circuit lately, reaching the final at Imzir, semi final at Stuttgart and semi final at Barcelona. 28-22 record on hard courts compared to Hsieh over the last 12 months and I just feel her greater confidence gained from her recent form gives her a great chance of causing an upset over a player that has struggled recently for victories.

KULICHOVA TO BEAT SEVASTOVA @ 3-1
Kulichkova won for us yesterday and was exceptionally strong on her return game and this is the part of Sevastova’s game that I feel she can exploit. If she can attack Sevastova’s serve then that can affect the rest of her game as she is a huge confidence player. 14-6 record on clay over last 12 months for Sevastova compared to Kulichkova’s 16-7 win loss record and the young Russian is a great price to cause an upset here.
