McCartney Kessler vs Rebecca Sramkova prediction
For Kessler, grass is the one surface where she has yet to achieve a meaningful result in her career. All three career finals have come on hard courts on the WTA Tour, and she has had success on clay at the ITF Tour.
On the other hand, Sramkova has a similar record, as she too has yet to reach a grass-court final in the WTA Tour. However, she has reached a grass-court final on the ITF Tour, reaching the final of the Ilkley Trophy, where she lost 4-6, 4-6 against Evgeniya Rodina back in 2016.
Kessler is the slight favorite in the upcoming match as she just beat the defending champion in her previous round, and will be confident going in this match.
Pick- Kessler to win in three sets.
