Playing Styles & Prediction

In their previous tour level match Nuria Parrizas-Diaz had the momentum and got the better of the Brit fairly comfortably in straight sets. But since the US swing, neither have managed to pick up a first round win. Parrizas-Diaz has the benefit of more form this year, having soared up the rankings, but Harriet Dart has had her best year on the tour, and if she brings her trademark tenacity to the court, she could drag out a three set win.

Prediction: Dart in three sets.
