Playing Styles & Prediction

Dart has really made the most of her opportunities on the grass and has found some solid form with a 6-3 win-loss record over the season, while Masarova has played just one match in Gaiba, which she lost.

This should be an easy win for the Brit whose aggressive game is really suited to the grass, and it would be a shock if Dart doesn’t start her journey to bettering her third-round appearance with a win here.

Prediction: Dart in straight sets.
