Katie Volynets vs Kaja Juvan prediction
Volynets has yet to win a Tour-level title on claycourt but has reached two finals on the surface on the Challenger Tour, including the one in Oeiras a few weeks ago. She has two claycourt titles on the ITF tour, the last of which came at the US Clay Court Championships in 2022.
Kaja Juvan's only WTA career final came on clay, as she lost 6-7 (5), 7-6 (0), 6-7 (5) to Angelique Kerber at the Internationaux de Strasbourg final in 2022. The Slovenian player has seven claycourt titles on the ITF tour, the last of which came in Italy in 2019.
Even though the head-to-head and track record on claycourts favor Juvan, the current ranking and form make Volynets the favorite for the upcoming match.
