Tennis Prediction of the Day Patricia Tig vs Laura Siegemund

Although a balanced match is announced, Laura Siegemund’s performance in the first round was a very authoritative one, with 84% at first serve, converting over 75% of balls. Even if Patricia Tig played well against the Japanese Shimizu, the two previous direct victories of the German in front of the romance must be taken into account, this one having a different style of play, in which the game alternates greatly. Thus I bet on a solid match managed by Laura Siegmund, having important chances to get qualification in the next round.
