Right after the conclusion of the US Open<\/a>, tennis takes a pivot towards some smaller events on the WTA Tour before the kickoff of the Asian swing later this month. This week, we will be focusing on Sao Paulo<\/a>, which has a fully loaded Day 2 order of play after rain washed out the first day of the tournament. As always, we at LWOT will predict every match for you, but who do you think will reach the next round?<\/p>\n

WTA Sao Paulo Day 2 Predictions
\nMary Stoiana vs Claire Liu<\/p>\n

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

This all-American contest will bring a contrast of styles, as Claire Liu relies on being consistent from the baseline, while Mary Stoiana uses her all-court variety to get the upper hand in rallies. On a hard court, if she manages her unforced errors, I think Stoiana has the aggressive game to win this match.<\/p>\n

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

Vendula Valdmannova vs Laura Pigossi<\/p>\n

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

This matchup sees experience meet youth, as Laura Pigossi takes on Vendula Valdmannova. The Brazilian is quite removed from her best tennis currently, but in front of a home crowd, she should be inspired to do well. However, Valdmannova\u2019s aggressive baseline game is tailor-made for these courts. If the youngster manages the crowd against her, she should advance.<\/p>\n

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

Whitney Osuigwe vs Kaitlin Quevedo<\/p>\n

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

This matchup pits Whitney Osuigwe\u2019s counterpunching, movement-reliant game against Kaitlin Quevedo\u2019s heavy baseline game. The Spanish player is the one who has played better throughout this year so far, and if she implements her high-intensity topspin game and remains composed during the pressure points, she should be able to win this match.<\/p>\n

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

Anna Blinkova vs Carol Young Suh Lee<\/p>\n

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

Carol Young Suh Lee has a preference for hard courts, as it is the surface that translates her baseline game the best. But the same could be said for Anna Blinkova, who undoubtedly has the higher floor of the two players here. While the Russian has not quite had the season she would have wanted so far, this match should give her a good opportunity to start off this tournament confidently.<\/p>\n

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