Talia Gibson and Tatjana Maria, both unseeded, meet in the opening round of the inaugural WTA event in Memphis. This will be their second meeting and our prediction backs Maria, as her opponent hasn’t won, or played a lot lately.
Gibson makes a return to action this week as she ends an almost month-long break. The Australian hasn’t taken to the court since being eliminated in the first round at Wimbledon.
She went into this break having also been struggling as she had lost seven times in nine outings. Currently on a three-match skid, Gibson is set to start the week down five places to 75th in the live ranking.
Maria has been more active than Gibson in recent weeks, and enjoying better form, she will be confident of victory. The German has won eight times in her last 10 outings and is currently on a five-match winning streak.
She is coming off a strong week at the Newport Challenger, where she won the title without dropping a set. The 38-year-old has registered 15 of her 27 total wins so far in her last 21 matches.
She has, however, struggled extensively on hard courts, winning just twice so far. Maria, who has slipped to 87th place in the live ranking, beat Gibson when they met at the 2023 hard court event in Hobart.

Our Talia Gibson vs Tatjana Maria Prediction
Two players in contrasting form meet here, each hoping to spark a strong week on hard courts. Though Maria has struggled this term on such surfaces, she remains a hardcourt specialist having posted close to 200 wins at events similar to this week’s in Memphis.
One of those victories was against Gibson, in their only previous encounter. Victory won’t come easy though, and she might need to win via a decider against an opponent looking for form. Our prediction for Talia Gibson v Tatjana Maria is that Tatjana Maria wins.
