Our Cristina Bucsa vs Iva Jovic Prediction
The Difference Maker: Bucsa has 4 career wins over top-20 players and has taken so many players of this caliber to three sets.
Jovic is coming off a surgical win over Magdalena Frech, but Bucsa is coming in with momentum after posting three consecutive sweeps.
What to Expect: This won’t be an easy match for Jovic because she’s facing an in-form Bucsa, who can rack up high-quality wins if she’s in the zone. Bucsa ruled the Merida Open earlier this year after eliminating Donna Vekic, Zeynep Sonmez, Jasmine Paolini and Magdalena Frech. Jovic is a much better player than any of those players right now, yet that doesn’t rule out the fact that Bucsa can give her a good scare in this duel.
Fearless Forecast: Iva Jovic 3-6, 6-4, 6-4
