Taylor Townsend vs Tatjana Maria prediction
Townsend is yet to reach a singles final on the WTA Tour, but has seven hardcourt titles on the ITF Tour. At Washington, she is a two-time finalist in doubles, winning the title last year along with Asia Muhammad.
Maria is yet to reach a hardcourt final in her WTA career. All of her four career titles have come on natural surfaces, and the German player has a 33 percent win rate on the hard surface. She did have a hardcourt Challenger title in Barranquilla in 2023, where she beat Fiona Ferro 6-1, 6-2 in the final.
With the match being on a hardcourt and the home crowd supporting her, Townsend is the slight favorite to win the upcoming match.
Pick- Townsend to win in three sets
