Ankita Raina is only the 5th athlete in India who has managed to reach the top 200 in the world, which happened in April 2018. Unfortunately for her, although at the age of 26, she seems to have reached the maximum potential, failing to approach even the top 100 positions.
Because of the position in the rankings, he participates more in challengers or ITF tournaments, hence the best performance of his career, winning a WTA Challenger title in 2018.
In Latvia he comes after two weeks ago he participated in Germany at the ITF tour in Versmold, where he was eliminated in optics by a sportsman ranked outside the top 200.

Patricia Tig comes after the best career week, managing to reach the final of the tournament in Bucharest, after having been previously required to play in qualifying.
Fatigue could be an important factor, the Romanian being forced to play 8 games in a 9-day period, the last match being even Sunday, the final lost against Kazakhstan’s sportsman Elena Rybakina.
The participation in Bucharest also marked the return of Patricia to the main picture of a WTA tournament after a 2-year break, caused by an injury, followed by a pregnancy.

Tennis Prediction of the Day Ankita Raina vs Patricia Tig

I expect the good shape shown in Bucharest to continue for Patricia Tig, meeting in this first round an opponent without any notable career result, and the aggressive game of romance should be enough for an easy victory, in a minimum of sets, big problems. Even though he has played many matches in Bucharest, Patricia has shown a huge “play”, and I think this will continue in the Latvian tournament. Not many top players are running, I expect Patricia to get back into the upper stages, and the match in the first round should not cause any problem.
