Viktorija Golubic, the third seed in the inaugural WTA event in Memphis, meets homegrown player Katie Volynets in the first round. This marks their third career meeting and doesn’t look so bright for Golubic, who has lost twice in the last three matches. That draws our prediction in Volynets' favor.
Katie Volynets defeated Golubic when they first met. Though that was four years ago, she will be confident of another win coming off a strong week at the Newport Challenger.
The American finished as runner-up at the event. Volynets, who last lost successive matches back in April, has compiled a 30-19 record. Despite the strong finish in Newport, Volynets has lost a bit of ground in the world rankings and will start the week down in 96th place.
Golubic won the most recent matchup with Volynets to tie this series between them at 1-1. She did so in a hard-fought three-set battle to lift the 125 event in Suzhou last season.
As she is coming off a lengthy time away from action, she will look to that performance to boost her confidence levels. Golubic hasn’t played since being eliminated from Wimbledon in the second round.
The 33-year-old, who has alternated between the challenger circuit and tour this term, has compiled a 23-18 record. Golubic has also dropped in the live ranking and starts the week down five places at 52nd.

Our Katie Volynets vs Viktorija Golubic Prediction
Our prediction for Katie Volynets v Viktorija Golubic is that Katie Volynets wins. Though Golubic and Volynets are strong hardcourt performers, this term, they haven’t enjoyed dominant runs on the surface.
Volynets, however, has fared a bit better than Golubic on hard courts and comes into this match in far better form generally. The American will be extra motivated this week as she is competing on home soil. She has lost just once in five outings and should therefore be able to subdue an opponent coming off a three-week break.
