Anastasia Zakharova and Ashlyn Krueger, both unseeded, will face off in the second round at the ATX Open on Friday. This match will mark their first career meeting, and the winner will play Yuan Yue or Dalma Galfi in the quarter-finals. Read on for our prediction of this match.
Zakharova defeated wildcard Mary Stoiana in three sets in the first round. That was her first-ever win in Austin after she was eliminated in the first round in her debut last season.
The Russian athlete has now improved to six wins from 12 outings and moved up six places in the live ranking to 82nd. Zakharova is seeking to move past the second round for the first time this season.
Ashlyn Krueger has also made a significant leap in the live ranking after winning her opening round tie. The American, who is back in this event after a three-year absence, has moved up eight places to 95th in the live ranking.
Krueger defeated the seventh seed, Catherine McNally, in the first round in straight sets. It was her second win in a shaky season so far. She has lost five times, and arrived in Austin looking to end a three-match losing streak.

Our Anastasia Zakharova vs Ashlyn Krueger Prediction
Our prediction for Anastasia Zakharova v Ashlyn Krueger is for the exact score: 2-1. Zakharova has been blowing hot and cold this season and has lost almost the same number of matches as she has won. Despite her inconsistent form, she has fared much better than Krueger.
The American has managed just two wins in seven outings thus far, whereas Zakharova has won six times. But as she is a strong hard-court performer, there is a strong chance that Krueger wins a set and forces a decider.
