Fourth seed Yuliia Starodubtseva and the unseeded Angela Fita Boluda meet in the opening round in Rabat next. This is their first career meeting, and the winner will play Anhelina Kalinina for a place in the quarter-finals. Boluda may be the underdog here, but her clay court experience is worth a look, and our prediction has her winning a set.
Yuliia Starodubtseva is making her Rabat debut. She is coming off a strong run in the Paris Challenger, where she was eliminated in the semi-finals by top 20 player Madison Keys.
The Ukrainian has produced some strong clay-court moments this term, one of which was a runner-up finish in Charleston. Currently ranked 54th in the live ranking, Starodubtseva has registered 10 of her 21 wins so far on clay.
Angela Boluda has recorded 23 of her 24 wins this season on clay. The Spaniard is a clay court specialist, and with over 300 victories on such surfaces, she will fancy her chances here.
Boluda has never won a tour tie and is only playing at this level for the second time. The 26-year-old was eliminated in the first round in the Moroccan capital three years ago in her only other tour appearance.
A winner of one ITF title this season, Boluda, who has also earned three runner-up finishes, is ranked 190th in the WTA.
