Day 3 at the WTA event in Rouen will certainly provide a lot of tight matches and exciting tennis. While the tournament doesn’t feature any of the top players in the world, it has a very balanced field where many people could realistically aim for the trophy and will give it their all to achieve it, as well as plenty of home players and clay court specialists.
WTA Rouen Day 3 Predictions
Bernarda Pera vs Linda Noskova
Head-to-head: Noskova 1-0 Pera
Pera had a nice run in Miami but has otherwise been struggling this year. Noskova hasn’t exactly been playing at a very high level this year either, but she is generally the higher level player of the two and under normal circumstances she should have a slight edge here, even if it should be a close match possibly going the distance.
Prediction: Noskova in 3
Moyuka Uchijima vs Kamilla Rakhimova
Head-to-head: Rakhimova 2-1 Uchijima
This is a very difficult match to call between two players at a very similar level. Rakhimova has the slight edge in their previous matchups, so that may give her a bit of an advantage here, but it will very likely be a very close match decided by who holds their nerve and executes better in big moments. It’s another match who could very well go the distance.
Prediction: Rakhimova in 3
Elena Gabriela Ruse vs Camilla Rosatello
Head-to-head: Ruse 1-0 Rosatello
Rosatello has already had a fantastic week, making it through qualifying and getting a fantastic first round win over a much higher ranked player, but it will likely be the end of the road for her against a Ruse that has been playing at a very good level this year, even pushing eventual champion Madison Keys to the brink at the Australian Open.
Prediction: Ruse in 2
Tiantsoa Sarah Rakotomanga Rajaonah vs Jaqueline Cristian
Head-to-head: first meeting
The young frenchwoman has been playing at a great level so far this week, not losing a set in qualifying and then upsetting Bronzetti in the first round. At the level she has been playing and having home advantage, she has a very good chance to create another upset here against Cristian. It should be quite a close match here.
Prediction: Rakotomanga Rajaonah in 3
