Bernarda Pera vs Donna Vekic – Match Predictions
Contents
Donna Vekic to win
Vekic has never beaten Pera but will not miss this opportunity to do that. The Croatian has an excellent record this season despite the fact that most of her matches were on a hard surface. Both players move well on the court and Vekic is the one who has a stronger forehand. The Croatian had a good run at the Australian Open and already won a title this year, so she has confidence which will lead her to the next round.
First set 9-10 games
This will be a difficult match with both players attacking from the start. There is no major difference between them so the opener can easily go both ways. However, no player will be dominant at the beginning of the match and the first set will finish with 9 or 10 games in total.
Bernarda Pera vs Donna Vekic Preview
