Day 3 at the WTA 500 event in Guadalajara<\/a> is set to feature four exciting matches, with a former Major champion in Sloane Stephens among those in action. But that is far from all, and as always, we here at LWOT will be predicting every match for you. But who do you think will win?<\/p>\n

WTA Guadalajara Day 3 Predictions
\nCristina Bucsa vs Panna Udvardy<\/p>\n

Head-to-head: Bucsa 2-0 Udvardy<\/p>\n

This matchup will likely come down to which player is more solid from the back of the court, as both of these players are traditional baseliners who focus on point construction rather than aggressive play. While Panna Udvardy is capable of holding her own from the baseline, Cristina Bucsa\u2019s superior ball quality and movement make me give her the edge in what should be a physical match.<\/p>\n

Prediction: Bucsa in 3<\/p>\n

Diane Parry vs Peyton Stearns<\/p>\n

Head-to-head: First meeting<\/p>\n

A contrast of styles sees Diane Parry\u2019s one-handed backhand and variety-based game take on the aggressive baseline approach of Peyton Stearns. If Parry can consistently disrupt Stearns\u2019 rhythm, she can have success in this match, but on a hard court, it is more likely that Stearns is able to outhit her opponent more times than she commits unforced errors.<\/p>\n

Prediction: Stearns in 3<\/p>\n

Sloane Stephens vs Janice Tjen<\/p>\n

Head-to-head: First meeting<\/p>\n

Still in her comeback to the tour, Sloane Stephens has shown a good level of baseline play in her recent matches. Against Janice Tjen, it will likely come down to whether the American can handle Tjen\u2019s slice and varied spin game. In what should be a back-and-forth match, I think Stephens can come out on top if she remains composed on the pressure points.<\/p>\n

Prediction: Stephens in 3<\/p>\n

Alycia Parks vs Sara Bejlek<\/p>\n

Head-to-head: Parks 0-2 Bejlek<\/p>\n

This match will see Alycia Parks\u2019 aggressive approach go up against Sara Bejlek\u2019s more methodical playstyle. Parks\u2019 high-variance game is still most suited to this surface, but ultimately, Bejlek showed in her run in Cincinnati<\/a> earlier this year that she can counterpunch effectively against aggressive players. If she plays at a similar level here, she should win comfortably.<\/p>\n

Prediction: Bejlek in 2<\/p>\n
