Peyton Stearns vs Mingge Xu prediction
Stearns was one of the dark horses in this year's French Open but struggled to get going in the first round. The American is known for her energetic all-around game and solid groundstrokes off both wings.
Xu, on the contrary, secured her first main draw victory in Nottingham last week. The 17-year-old is still learning the trade on the main tour. She could make the most of her match fitness and present a formidable challenge to Stearns.
No points for guessing that the American will be a clear favorite to come out on top. She has a point to prove on the grass and will be eager to register a valuable result in Eastbourne. Stearns should be able to deal with Xu in the first round.
Pick: Stearns to win in straight sets.
