Jessica Bouzas Maneiro vs Elina Avanesyan Prediction

I'm going Avanesyan here. Bouzas Maneiro was unimpressive in a chaotic three-set win over Jamrichova that was full of errors (she hit 66 unforced errors in total). If Jamrichova had a bit of discipline and composure, she could have won that match.

Avanesyan is too solid and has a terrific forehand acceleration that will generate plenty of winners here. She's the proactive player between the two and will be rewarded for taking risks and being aggressive from the baseline. Give me Avanesyan in two sets for maximum returns.
