Our Carol Young Suh Lee vs Polina Kudermetova Prediction
The Difference Maker: Carol Lee has the momentum coming into the qualifiers at Cincinnati, having won 8 of her last 9 matches and captured a title at Warsaw. Kudermetova qualified for the main draw of Washington and Toronto, but she is still in search of a breakout performance in this swing.
What to Expect: Lee carved out a close win over Kudermetova. The Uzbek is not going to hand over the win so easily, so Lee should prepare for everything Kudermetova will throw at her.
Fearless Forecast: Carol Lee wins 4-6, 7-5, 6-4
