Our Elvina Kalieva vs Oleksandra Oliynykova Prediction
The Difference Maker: Kalieva is a hard-court expert, while Oliynykova is a clay-court grinder. Despite her first-round exit at an ITF tournament a week ago, Kalieva should like her matchup against Oliynykova, who is still not comfortable playing on hard surfaces.
What to Expect: Kalieva gets off to a hot start to win the first set. She will face a bit of resistance from Oliynykova in the first set, but the American still comes through with a sweep in the first round.
Fearless Forecast: Elvina Kalieva wins 6-3, 7-5
Our betting prediction for Elvina Kalieva vs. Oleksandra Oliynykova: Elvina Kalieva 2-0 Sets
