Renata Zarazua and McCartney Kessler will clash in Washington on Tuesday, when the Mexican player will be hoping to achieve something that she never has before, and that's defeat this particular opponent, who is currently ranked at 47 in the world. Zarazua, as the current world number 83, played well in a minor hard-court event, but can she get over the potential mental hurdle of facing a player that she's repeatedly lost to? 

Having played more recent hard-court tennis than her opponent, Renata Zarazua may fancy herself to upset the odds here, but let's face it, she has an appalling record against Kessler, so much so that it's rather hard to see her thriving. The American player has defeated the Mexican on four previous occasions, winning in straight sets when the pair met just a few months ago. On that evidence, another straight-set win for Kessler appears to be right around the corner.
