Former Grand Slam winner Victoria Azarenka will go head-to-head with the streaking Kamilla Rakhimova in the second round of the Guadalajara Open Akron on Wednesday in Guadalajara, Mexico, Azarenka rolls into the tournament winning four of her last four matches, securing the No.3 seed and a first-round bye. The two-time Australian Open champion last lifted a WTA title over her head at the 2020 Cincinnati Masters, where she defeated Naomi Osaka via walkover. Meanwhile, Rakhimova has extended her winning streak to six games after outpowering Alexandra Krunic 7-5, 6-0 in their first-round clash. Rakhimova, who won the WTA 125 Guadalajara over the weekend, won 77 percent of her first serves and secured six out of seven breakpoint opportunities to beat her Croatian foe.

Our Kamilla Rakhimova vs Victoria Azarenka Prediction
At 35, Azarenka remains a formidable foe on the tour, capable of racking up consecutive victories against younger and more athletic opponents. On the other hand, Rakhimova continues to succeed in breaking her opponent’s serves, as this particular aspect of her game enabled her to win important matches during her WTA 125 Guadalajara title run. This marks the first time Rakhimova will play a Grand Slam-caliber opponent in two weeks. Yet, I still feel confident that she can put on a winning performance against Azarenka as long as she keeps converting breakpoint opportunities at a high rate.
