Jessica Pegula vs Anna Kalinskaya preview
Jessica Pegula is the top seed at the Strasbourg Open and received a bye in the opening round. The American comes into the WTA 500 tournament after a superb couple of weeks where she reached the final of the Miami Open and then won the Charleston Open. She has only played four matches on clay so far, winning two and losing as many, so it has not been a great start but that can change at the Strasbourg Open.
Trending
Facing the top seed is Anna Kalinskaya, who recently won the women's doubles crown at the Madrid Open. Kalinskaya began her campaign here against Caroline Dolehide and battled past the American in three sets to set up a second-round clash against another American. The odds will be against Kalinskaya, but the Russian has played plenty of tennis on clay and will look to use it to her advantage.

Jessica Pegula vs Anna Kalinskaya prediction
Though Pegula has not played a lot of tennis on clay so far, she will be the favourite going into this contest. The 31-year-old American, who is the top seed here, has had more time to rest as compared to her opponent, courtesy of her bye in the opening round and will be eager to begin her campaign on a winning note.
Pegula has played in the big leagues before and has already won two titles this year, and will look to add to that tally at the Strasbourg Open. Kalinskaya, fresh from her maiden WTA 1000 doubles title, will be keen to make an impact, but Pegula should be able to see off the Russian's challenge.
Pick: Pegula to win in straight sets.
