Clara Tauson is the second seed in this grass court tournament. The Dane takes on unseeded Kimberly Birrell for a place in round two of the Nottingham Open. Who will make it into round two? Here's our match prediction.
Tauson is at 23rd in the live rankings and is playing in her first grass court tournament of 2025. This has not been a surface that has provided a great deal of success for her. Last year, all three of her grass court matches ended in defeat.
Only two of her nine matches on this surface have been won and the 22-year-old has never won a main draw match at Wimbledon. The couple of wins Tauson has had on grass were in the qualifying rounds of the 2023 Wimbledon Championships.
Kimberly Birrell is playing in her third grass court tournament of the year. The quarter-finals were reached in Birmingham but Birrell was beaten in round two of the Libema Open last week.
2024 saw the Australian win 12 of her 16 grass court matches. That included two quarter-finals (including this tournament) and one semi-final. If she has one aim this year, it'll be to play in the Wimbledon main draw after failing to qualify three times.
We tip Birrell to win this match.
