Our Maja Chwalinska vs Taylor Townsend Prediction
The Difference Maker: Townsend has 195 career wins on hard courts, while Chwalinska owns 44 wins on this surface.
Moreover, Chwalinska doesn’t have the type of game that makes her dangerous on hard courts, while Townsend’s aggressive all-court style and serve-and-volley play could deal heavy damage when everything is clicking.
What to Expect: Townsend will overpower Chwalinska. Things could have been a lot different if this match were played on a clay court, but the hard court is Townsend’s domain. The American is just going to annihilate Chwalinska’s first and second serve.
Fearless Forecast: Taylor Townsend wins 6-4, 6-3
Our betting prediction for Taylor Townsend vs. Maja Chwalinska: Taylor Townsend -3.5 games.
