Ashlyn Krueger vs Anna Bondar prediction
Ashlyn Krueger almost captured her second title in Abu Dhabi this year. The American has put up some brilliant performances so far and looks poised for a big result soon. She is known for her steady all-around game and clean groundstrokes from the baseline.
Bondar, on the contrary, was rewarded for her hard work with a title-winning run in Wiesbaden. She will be looking to build on her clinical performance and make a deep run in Rome. The Hungarian is known for her defensive skills and resilient play on the court.
Considering their results this season, Krueger will be a slight favorite to come out on top. The American is yet to find her best game on clay, but she looks to be moving in the right direction. She should be able to eliminate a tricky opponent in Rome and begin her campaign with a win.
Pick: Krueger to win in straight sets.
