Sasnovich vs Vekic Prediction
Donna Vekic leads Aliaksandra Sasnovich 3-0 in their head-to-head across all levels. But they last played in 2019 in Brisbane, and it is worth pointing out that they haven’t clashed on clay. Vekic got a bye in the first round by virtue of being a seeded player. She has a higher ceiling than Sasnovich and is the higher-ranked player in this matchup. Sasnovich, for her part, secured a big upset in the first round when she defeated 2021 US Open finalist Leylah Fernandez 7-6, 4-6, 6-3 in two hours and 38 minutes. The Belarusian trailed 0-3 in the third set, a double-break down, but still reeled off six straight games in the wake of Fernandez’s imploding game. It should be a great battle against Vekic, with both players loving to hit a flat and heavy ball. While Vekic owns Sasnovich in the h2h, winning all matches in straights, she’ll be tested in Rome where conditions tend to be slower than on other clay courts, but expect the Croat to narrowly edge this one.
