Bianca Andreescu vs Rebeka Masarova prediction
Andreescu will enter the match as the favorite to win considering some of the performances she has produced so far this season.
The Canadian served seven aces in her first-round match at Bad Homburg and will look to fetch more of those on Tuesday as well. Shee hits her shots with a lot of power and can always mix them up with slices and dropshots. Andreescu's on-court movement will also come in handy.
Masarova, meanwhile, was very strong on her first serve in her last match, serving four aces and winning 26 out of 34 points. However, her second serve was a little rusty as she won only six out of 14 points on it.
The Spaniard has beaten a few higher-ranked players so far this season but she will have to be at her best in order to win this upcoming contest.
Andreescu hasn't been particularly impressive following her injury in Miami. However, she should be able to get the better of Masarova and reach the quarterfinals of the Bad Homburg Open.
Pick: Bianca Andreescu to win in straight sets.
