Simona Waltert vs Maiar Sherif Ahmed Abdelaziz Prediction & Picks - WTA Hamburg Open

One of the queens of the clay will be in action on Tuesday, when Mayar Sherif, who comes into this tournament having won the WTA event in Iasi, will take on Simona Waltert. The early market suggests that this may be close, but it's hard to agree with that, with Sherif never having lost to Waltert. It's also hard to ignore the fact that Sherif has won each of the last three clay events that she's entered. 

Sometimes, when players enter a new event having won their previous event, there can be a bit of a hangover, leading them to go out with a whimper, though that shouldn't be the case with Mayar Sherif, who is a clay-court expert and a player who as mentioned above, has now won three clay-court events on the spin. The Egyptian is playing some of the best tennis of her life, and after an easy final in Iasi, Romania, she's absolutely worth betting on to keep her impressive run going, especially at odds of -125, which are just too big to ignore.
