Playing Styles & Prediction

Sierra pulled off the surprise and dumped then British No. 1 Katie Boulter out of Wimbledon, so is not to be underestimated when she has a free hit. With Kartal seeded, she will come out as the underdog.

Kartal plays a disruptive style of tennis with a lot of variety and Sierra will look to come in. She is not a typical Argentine in her style of play but can sometimes fall foul of her shot selection.

Kartal has yet to set the USA alight in this autumn swing and will want to get some solid wins ahead of the US Open.

Prediction: Kartal in three sets.
