Qualifier Antonia Ruzic has made it to the second round in Montreal, where she is set to take on 11th seed Karolina Muchova. This is their first career meeting. The winner will progress to play either Belinda Bencic or Eugenie Bouchard for a place in the fourth round. Read on for our prediction of this match.

Antonia Ruzic is debuting in Montreal and began on a winning note, defeating Anastasia Potapova in the first round. She won in three sets to claim her third successive victory after winning both of her qualifiers.

The 22-year-old, who has won 32 matches this year across all three levels, has moved up to 86th in the live ranking, a new career high.

Karolina Muchova is back in action and ends a four-week break from competitive play. The world number 14 was last in action during the grass season.

She struggled in this period, culminating in a first-round exit at Wimbledon. Muchova, who has won just one of her last five fixtures, made the third round in her last outing in this event two years ago.

The Czech number one, who is a two-time WTA finalist, is having a rocky year, losing 10 of 23 matches. She is placed 14th in the live rank.
