Elsa Jacquemot vs Anna-Lena Friedsam Prediction

Jacquemot has been racking up the double faults all week, but she’s generally averaged over 70% of first serve points won and staying clutch on break points. The Frenchwoman has to be the favorite here, as she still has the higher upside in extended rallies, with the ability to absorb pace and counter Friedsam’s craft with her movement.
