On Wednesday, there's more action coming our way from the WTA event in Ostrava, Czech Republic, where home-court player Nikola Bartunkova, who is seemingly on a rapid incline right now, will get down to business against Fiona Ferro of France. The French player, who is ranked more than 100 places below her teenage opponent, arrives off the back of a straight-set win, but she'll need to pull out more to match Bartunkova, who is a player in hot form.
The young Czech player looked right at home during the first round, beating the higher-ranked Anna Blinkova without dropping a set. That confident win follows Australian Open victories against both Belinda Bencic and Daria Kasatkina. In other words, this is a young player moving in the right direction, a player who looks set for a big week.

Our Fiona Ferro vs Nikola Bartunkova Prediction
At present, young up-and-comer Nikola Bartunkova is clearly in the sweet spot, while she certainly looked to be enjoying herself back on home soil during the first-round match against the higher-ranked Blinkova. Off the back of what was a commanding performance from the 19-year-old, I cannot help but feel that this match has defeat written all over it for Fiona Ferro.
Sure, the French player did beat Fruhvirtova in straight sets to reach this stage, but this will demand more, and there's little in terms of recent form to suggest that the player ranked 281st in the world has what is required to tussle with a youngster who is full of confidence. Expect another straight-set win from the player who will be as keen as anyone to go all the way this week.
Fiona Ferro vs Nikola Bartunkova Pick: Nikola Bartunkova to Win 2-0.
