Kimberly Birrell has set up another showdown with lucky loser Petra Marcinko after qualifying for the second round in Eastbourne. Birrell heads into their second meeting this season having won her last three matches, and this prediction tips her for victory.
Marcinko has a second opportunity in Eastbourne after defeat in the qualifying rounds. The Croat, who is making her first appearance in this event, defeated Antonia Ruzic in one of the longest matches of the season.
It lasted three hours and 23 minutes, with the world number 51 taking the first and third sets via tiebreaks. With three wins in five outings on grass, Marcinko has improved to 18-18.
Kimberly Birrell battled her way from a set down to eliminate Marcinko from the ATX Open back in February. That was their first-ever matchup, and with Marcinko coming off a grueling battle, Birrell will feel even more confident of downing the 20-year-old.
Birrell, who is looking to move past the second round at Eastbourne for the first time, hasn’t lost a set so far. She overcame fourth seed Barbora Krejcikova in the last round.
Defeating a double slam champion who is a top player on grass should be a big shot in the arm for the Australian.

Our Petra Marcinko vs Kimberly Birrell Prediction
Birrell needed a decider to beat Marcinko in their earlier meeting this season. However, she is likely to avoid a deciding set in their next showdown, as she is a better performer on grass than Marcinko.
Birrell is also coming into this match in stronger form, having won three straight matches in Eastbourne without dropping a set. Marcinko, on the other hand, has already suffered one loss in the tournament and is coming off a grueling three-hour battle. Our prediction for Petra Marcinko v Kimberly Birrell is that Kimberly Birrell wins.
