Jasmine Paolini and Cristina Bucsa are set to face off for the fourth time in their careers. The two meet in the second semi-final at the Merida Open, and below we have a prediction for the match.
The winner here will set up a final against Magdalena Frech or Shuai Zhang. Top seed Paolini claimed her place in the semis with a three-set win over Katie Boulter in the quarters.
That win left her seventh in the live rankings. The Italian started here on a losing record, but two wins on her Merida debut have her on 5-4. A three-time tour champion, Paolini has the head-to-head advantage in this encounter.
Cristina Bucsa will be disadvantaged, having spent more than an hour on the courts compared to Paolini. This was as a result of Paolini getting a bye in the first round.
A ray of hope for the Spaniard, though, is that she has done well in her three matches, winning all in straight sets. Bucsa didn't start the season very well, and her run here represents their best.
Before coming to Merida, she had suffered five straight defeats. To progress here, Bucsa beat Zeynep Sonmez in the quarter-finals, and she comes here ranked 53rd in the live rank.

Our Jasmine Paolini vs Cristina Bucsa Prediction
Both Paolini and Bucsa have had shaky starts to the season. Paolini has only hit the third round once, at the Australian Open, while Bucsa is yet to progress past the second round. The Spaniard is on a losing record heading into this match, while Paolini just reached 5-4 for the campaign.
Bucsa, however, hasn’t shown signs of struggling this week and could carry the day here. Their runs point to a possible back and forth in this encounter, and given both have been dropping sets, we expect this to go all the way. Our prediction for Jasmine Paolini v Cristina Bucsa is for exact score: 1-2.
