Qualifier Iryna Shymanovich hopes to continue with her strong week in Memphis when she meets Katie Volynets in the second round. This marks their second meeting, but first on tour. Volynets with 31 wins so far, is the pick in our prediction.
Shymanovich has won two matches in a row to start her week in Memphis. She was seeded in the qualifying rounds and only played one match. She won that without breaking a sweat, but found it a bit tougher in the first round.
Shymanovich, who had lost just two games in her qualifying tie, dropped seven games to Reese Brantmeier as she won in straight sets. Shymanovich earned a quarter-final finish in Rouen, her first-ever such performance on tour.
Now up to 183rd in the live ranking, she will target to surpass that feat this week.
Katie Volynets defeated Shymanovich on her way to lifting the Makarska Challenger two seasons ago. She lost just three games in that contest.
Volynets will hope another victory sets up a domino effect similar to the one two seasons ago in her quest for a first tour title. The American, who is competing on home soil, had a much tougher opening round showdown than Shymanovich.
Her battle with Viktorija Golubic lasted three hours and 21 minutes, with a breaker required in the decider. Now up five places to 88th in the live ranking, Volynets has improved to 31 wins this year and is one win away from a second quarter-final.
