Our Ekaterina Makarova vs Francisca Jorge Prediction
For Francisca Jorge, consistency has been hard to come by in recent times, with the Portuguese player not exactly flourishing on clay courts, winning only three of her last 13 matches. She comes here off the back of a quite comfortable loss against a player not dissimilar (in terms of ranking) to Makarova. In contrast, the Russian has been playing very well and after her recent tournament win in Greece, she probably deserves more respect than early odds of +110 suggest. Betting her to win this match at such odds offers value for money as far as I'm concerned. Our Pick: Ekaterina Makarova to Win.
