However, she had to work really hard to beat Donna Vekic of Croatia 6-2, 4-6, 7-6 in the second round. It was one of the most intense matches of the second round this year.

Elina Svitolina vs Bernarda Pera prediction
Svitolina is the more experienced player of the two. She is also the higher-ranked and has a pretty complete game. Her groundstrokes are solid, and her serve is quite dependable. However, Pera has improved her game considerably in recent years, which she demonstrated in her second-round match, and proved that she could grind a result out on clay as well.
Svitolina will, therefore, try to wrap up the match in straight sets and will not want it to go to the decider. Pera, meanwhile, will fancy her chances of causing an upset if it goes into the third set. Her ability to play longer rallies might come in handy then.
It should be a close match by all means, but Svitolina's quality as a player might prove to be too much in the end. The Ukrainian should be able to win the match, but not without a fight.
Pick: Svitolina to win in three sets.
