Irina-Camelia Begu vs Karolina Muchova Prediction & Picks - WTA Palermo Open

Right now, Irina-Camelia Begu is ranked comfortably below Karolina Muchova, but I really wouldn't pay too much attention to that. We know that Begu is better than her current ranking and we know that she can be a tough opponent to face on the clay. Karolina Muchova is also a very decent clay-court player, but I think she could suffer here for not having had much of a difficult run to the semis. In contrast, Begu has already beaten three higher-ranked players and she's beaten them well, without dropping a set. Such form is hard to ignore and I also think that such form should make her a narrow favorite. While that's not the case, the Romanian goes down as a value bet to get the job done. Our Prediction: Irina-Camelia Begu to Win.
