Tennis Prediction of the Day Patricia Țig vs Ayano Shimizu

Patricia Tig showed excellent form in the two qualifying matches, and I expect to continue in the same way, meeting a player without important matches played in the last period. Patricia Tig manages to improve her game in each match, so I expect the Romanian to get a clear victory in the first round in Hiroshima, trying to get on this surface still a remarkable result.
