Eastbourne International: Day Two Predictions Unveiled

Tennis Fans Anticipate Exciting Matches on the Sussex Coast

Day two of the WTA Eastbourne International promises compelling tennis for fans, even without the biggest stars. Several players are eager to find their form ahead of Wimbledon. The focus is on who will advance in these crucial matches.

Match Analysis: Cocciaretto vs. Rakhimova

Elisabetta Cocciaretto and Kamilla Rakhimova, both qualifiers, have been playing well on the grass court circuit. Cocciaretto, after reaching the Den Bosch semifinals, is likely confident. While Rakhimova won their prior clay match, the quicker grass may favor Cocciaretto.

Prediction: Cocciaretto in 3

Burrage Faces Uchijima

Moyuka Uchijima, ranked higher, may find it tough on grass, this being her season debut on the surface. In contrast, Jodie Burrage is more comfortable playing on grass. Supported by home fans, Burrage should manage to defeat Uchijima, although the match is expected to be close.

Prediction: Burrage in 3

Sramkova and Cristian Clash

Rebecca Sramkova and Jaqueline Cristian seem evenly matched on paper. Yet, Sramkova might hold an advantage due to her recent Nottingham semifinal run. Cristian has not had much success on grass this year, preferring clay surfaces.

Prediction: Sramkova in 2

Kenin and Birrell Meet

Sofia Kenin is working her way back up the rankings. However, she has not enjoyed success on grass in the past. Kimberly Birrell, after qualifying, could present a challenge. This match could be very close, perhaps decided by the smallest margins. Kenin’s star quality might prevail.

Prediction: Kenin in 3
