Struggles From Maria
Tatjana Maria had her best career result last year on grass at Wimbledon but this year didn’t see her reach the same height. The German lost in the opening round of the event despite some solid prep on the surface. Her last win though happened on June 24th in Italy on grass.
She played one clay event following Wimbledon and it wasn’t that great of an experience as she lost to Tereza Martincova in two sets. Maria can play well on clay and has actually won trophies on the surface but right now her level hasn’t been great for a while.
The season overall though has been pretty good winning 33 wins and 22 losses with her clay record being 14-8. She didn’t play her opponent on the WTA Tour but they did play on the ITF Tour earlier this year and Maria won that match in three sets.
It was on grass so this is going to be a different match but still, Maria’s experience is likely to be vital.

Monnet’s Slow Rise
Carole Monnet hasn’t really broken out in a major fashion as she’s still far away from the top 10. The French player has been dealing with a very up-and-down career so far being unable to really find a great run. She went 39-38 last year and this year she’s 26-23 which is very similar.
Clay has been a similar experience. She was 24-22 on the surface last year and now she’s 15-14 with a very up-and-down form. You have to go back a little bit to see her win three matches in a row but that’s somewhat normal for a fairly young player who doesn’t have that much experience.
That experience cost her the match against Maria on the ITF Tour earlier this year and it could very well again. She tends to play somewhat aggressively, different from the way Maria plays so the match might be on her racquet.
She will certainly have chances but she’s not favoured as that experience factor is very important.
Maria v Monnet Prediction and Tip
Maria is the heavy favourite and with good reason but I do think we might see a close match. I’ll actually back the German to win but in three sets so the over could be a decent option.
Tips:
- Moderate Risk Tip: Over 20,5 games: 5/6
