Elina Svitolina vs Anna Bondar prediction
Svitolina has been consistently making deep runs on the tour lately. Although her injury raised concerns before the Grand Slam, her first-round win suggested that she has fully recovered.
Bondar showed great composure and determination to make it across the line in her opener. However, securing a similar result against the in-form Svitolina is likely to be an uphill task.
Svitolina is the clear favorite heading into the match. Her defensive skills, paired with her powerful backhand, are particularly effective on clay. Hence, the Ukrainian is expected to make it to the next round.
Pick: Svitolina to win in straight sets.
