WTA Rouen Day 3 Predictions
Nao Hibino vs Elena-Gabriela Ruse
Head-to-head: Gabriela-Ruse 1-0 Hibino
Ruse has been the more comfortable of these two players on clay throughout her career. But she has struggled badly with form and injuries so far this year and currently sits outside the Top 100. Hibino does not usually play particularly well on clay, and this could be a scrappy affair. Despite her difficult season so far, Ruse gets a slight edge at the WTA Rouen Open. Hibino has struggled with her movement in her opening matches on clay in the past. That is a fundamental part of the 29-year-old’s game and could prove costly in this encounter.
Prediction: Ruse in 3
