Saville Cruising Through the Draw
Daria Saville has been utterly spectacular at this event which is expected as it was only a matter of time before she was going to find her best tennis. The Australian fought her way back to the top last year but injured her knee in Tokyo which left her away for almost a year.
She’s back now and playing some amazing tennis. She won the first round matchup against Jasmine Paolini 6-0 7-6(3). She defeated Tamara Korpatsch 7-6(6) 6-2 in the second round rather comfortably and then added another straight sets win in the quarter-final 6-3 6-2 over Jule Niemeier.
The Australian will like to keep that going and she’s very likely to do that against a player who has been in spectacular form but generally isn’t on the same level as Saville.
If he plays her level and wins the crucial rallies she should win. Rus is a power hitter but lacks the finesse of Saville which could be a problem.

Arantxa Rus Keeps on Winning
The Dutch player is now on a 3-match winning streak after seeing her previous winning streak snapped in Palermo. She’s been really strong on clay this year posting a 38-7 record on the surface.
Clay has always been her best surface because it allows her to unleash her power in the most devastating way for her opponents. She has been playing pretty solid tennis in Hamburg beating Maria Timofeeva 6-2 4-6 6-1 in the first round.
The second round saw her defeat Nadia Podoroska 6-3 3-6 7-5 while the quarter-final win over Eva Lys wasn’t anything less impressive 6-2 6-2.
She’s just been hitting the ball extremely well and it’s going to take a really strong effort to defeat her. She needs to be cautious of Saville because the Australian can do it. If Rus puts forward her best effort she could likely add another win to her tally.
Saville v Rus Prediction and Tip
This is a very tricky one to call because either could win. I’m going to follow my gut and go with Saville because of the biggest ceiling.
Tips:
- Moderate Risk Tip: Saville to win the match: 7/5
