Clay-court specialist Maiar Sherif will venture onto a hard court for the first time in several months late on Sunday evening, when at the WTA event in Monterrey, she'll face Oleksandra Oliynykova, who has already got back down to business on this surface since the end of the European clay and grass seasons finished.
If we look at the early lines here, we can see that Maiar Sherif is the favorite, but that's far from easy to agree with. Can the Egyptian make a smooth transition from the clay-court game and win at the first time of asking now back on a hard court? Whether she does or not, she looks less likely to achieve that than the early odds would have us believe. Oleksandra Oliynykova has already had a chance to get back up to speed on hard courts, while she won when these two players previously met on this type of surface.

Our Mayar Sherif Ahmed Abdelaziz vs Oleksandra Oliynykova Prediction
As touched on above, Maiar Sherif is returning to the hard-court game for the first time (competitively) since February. The betting market isn't taking this seriously enough. The Egyptian, who is very much a clay-court specialist, wasn't in good form when last seen on this surface, losing each of her last three hard-court matches, one of which was against Oleksandra Oliynykova.
Simply, this is a much better opportunity for Oleksandra Oliynykova, who won her last hard-court match against a lower-ranked player than the early betting suggests. Take advantage.
