Marketa Vondrousova vs Tatjana Maria Match Preview

Marketa Vondrousova looks to be on her way up in the rankings once again. She faces unorthodox German Tatjana Maria in a tricky opener at the Miami Open. Who will prevail?

Marketa Vondrousova has won ten matches already this season and sits on the verge of breaking the top 100 once again. Vondrousova, a former top-15 player, has battled injuries throughout her career. It’s unfortunate she has yet to fulfill her teenage potential, but she is still only 23, with many years of playing tennis at the top level, provided she can remain healthy. Let’s see how she will fare in her opening match at the Miami Open.

Tatjana Maria, meanwhile, has gone off the boil in recent weeks after a productive February saw her clinch an ITF title in India and reach the quarterfinal in Hua Hin. Maria has failed to replicate her form in Southeast Asia in the American continent, losing in the second round stage in three tournaments including in Indian Wells this past week. Can she pull off a surprise at the Miami Open?

Marketa Vondrousova vs Tatjana Maria Prediction and Pick

Marketa Vondrousova leads Tatjana Maria 2-0 in their head-to-head. Not only has the Czech lefty dominated the German veteran in each of those two previous meetings, but she enters this match in better form and looks healthy again. The pre-match odds tell the story and we cannot see anything but another routine win on the cards for Vondrousova on her return to the Miami Open.
