Polina Kudermetova has battled her way to the second round in Washington, where she will take on second seed Elina Svitolina. These two have never met before, but our prediction backs Svitolina, who has won seven of her last 10 hardcourt matches.
The winner here will play Leylah Fernandez or Alexandra Eala in the quarter-finals. Kudermetova has won three matches this week. She showcased true grit as each win needed her to fight through three sets.
Reaching the main draw in DC for the first time, Kudermetova defeated Cristina Bucsa in the last round. The 23-year-old has compiled a 33-15 record competing mostly outside of the tour.
Now up to 98th in the live ranking, she is looking to qualify for her first quarter-final of the season on tour.
Svitolina makes her return to action after a month-long break. The Ukrainian had a disappointing end to the grass campaign and will hope the time spent away has rejuvenated her.
Svitolina suffered a disappointing first round exit at Wimbledon last time out. Before losing to Daria Snigur in straight sets, Svitolina had pulled out at Bad Homburg in the quarter-finals due to injury.
The 31-year-old has been one of the top performers this year and has been able to return to the WTA top 10. A winner of two titles so far, Svitolina has compiled a 36-10 record.

Our Polina Kudermetova vs Elina Svitolina Prediction
Svitolina returns to action after a difficult run of form. The Ukrainian saw a dip in form at the tail end of the grass campaign. After a month-long break, she should be ready to return to her early season form. Svitolina has been one of the season’s top performers and is heavily tipped to go all the way this week.
Meanwhile, Kudermetova has done well to reach this round but hasn’t been in the most fluid form and has also struggled on tour. Our prediction for Polina Kudermetova v Elina Svitolina is for the exact score: 0-2.
