Polina Kudermetova vs Anna-Lena Friedsam Prediction

The books can’t separate these two on paper, but Kudermetova is sharper and with better serve and return stats when healthy and had a solid start to the season until her form dipped on clay and injuries derailed her momentum. She’s still a top 100 player and that would most likely be the goal before she ends her season. So a win here would be much needed.
