Our Magdalena Frech vs Astra Sharma Prediction
Our prediction for Magdalena Frech v Astra Sharma is for Frech to win.
While she has struggled with in recent weeks Frech’s performances have been elsewhere and not on hard courts. The Pole is a strong hard-court player and has had most of her success this year on the surface. She therefore should be able to secure a win against Sharma who has had a difficult season.
Sharma has also not featured that much on hard courts and when she has, she has found adversity.
