Camila Giorgi vs Ajla Tomjlanovic Prediction
Camila Giorgi will look to snap her six-match losing streak at her home event.
Camila Giorgi plays a gung-ho brand of tennis and will look to take on the role of the aggressor in the contest. She will especially look to target her opponent’s volatile second serve, so Tomjalonovic will need to keep her numbers consistent.
While the Australian possesses a few weapons of her own — on the backhand wing in particular – she will have to play a patient game and stay in rallies long enough to extract errors from Giorgi.
The Italian has not won a lot of matches of late, but her past record against Tomljaonvic should give her plenty of confidence. If the Italian can keep her error count in check and stay clear of Tomljanovic’s backhand, she should be able come away with a win.
Prediction: Giorgi to win in three sets.
