Kaitlin Quevedo vs Anna Blinkova Prediction

I’m taking the huge upset here and backing Quevedo. I think her current form gives her a real shot at delivering. She has already pushed Blinkova in their only meeting last year in the Madrid altitude. This is their first meeting on hard courts, and Quevedo has looked extremely comfortable this week.
