McNally Coming off Paris Open Final
There are two aspects to McNally’s recent performances. One she made it to the final of the WTA 125 tournament in Paris making her a player to watch as she negotiates her early rounds in the same city and on the same surface.
However, she was unable to play that final against Diane Parry because of fitness concerns which makes one wonder if all’s well with the American with respect to her fitness.
Overall though one has to look at McNally’s performances through the prism of her results all season and she has won 14 of the 24 matches she’s played this year.
Sure, some of those wins have come on the WTA 125 circuit but second round appearances at Charleston, Madrid and Rome will make McNally feel chuffed coming into this.

Bogdan 3-3 on Clay This Season
A finalist at the Warsaw Open, an ITF title winner and a semifinalist in Parma – that’s Bogdan’s record on clay last season. This being the case, one would have expected her to do better than what her record suggests this season.
She has played in three clay court competitions this year and won a mere three matches.
And those wins came against players with winning odds of 17/10, 9/4 and 19/2 for them – which means Bogdan was a favourite in each one of them. This was followed by defeats in all three tournaments, with two of those losses coming to opponents who were mildly underdogs in those matches.
What that means is coming into this match against McNally, Bogdan will have a lot of catching up to do.
McNally v Bogdan Prediction and Tip
Interesting to note that Bogdan begins this one as a favourite and it could be to do with McNally’s injury issues. Still, we will have to trust McNally’s regained full fitness if she is starting out here and should edge her opponent here.
Tips:
- Moderate Risk Tip: McNally to win: 11/10
