WTA IASI Day 4 predictions like Avanesyan against Carle

The No. 1 seed Elina Avanesyan and No. 2 Seed Jaqueline Cristian will both be in action on Thursday at the WTA Unicredit Iasi Open. Can the runner -up last year come from a difficult patch to produce another run at this event location? In the meantime, Francesca Jones stands on the edge of a Top 100 debut and faces Panna Udvardy. Who do you think will be ahead?

WTA IASI Day 4 predict

Irene Burillo Escorihuela against Simona Waltert

Head: Burillo Escorihuela 2-1

After you have met three times on the ITF level in 2018-22, it is nice for these two that you now have the chance to kick against each other on a larger stage. Simona Waltert has progressed faster and recently found near a top -100 debut. While Irene Burillo Escorihuela almost shocked Runde 1 in Bastad 1 last week, Elisabetta Cocciaretto, Waltert has raised her level since the last games. You should be able to show it on Thursday.
Prediction: Waltert in 2

Francesca Jones against Panna Udvardy

Head: First meeting

Panna Udvardy made the final in Iasi two years ago, but at that time the tournament was a WTA 125. While the Hungarian kept in the mix in the last seasons, she didn't make much noticeable progress either. In the meantime, Francesca Jones could now make the jump. The Brit ran to the title last week in Contrexeville and is located shortly before the debut in the top 100. Fatigue could come into play at some point this week, but at the moment she is doing well and is going with the wave of trust.

Jana Fett against Jaqueline Cristian

Head: Cristian 2-0

Jaqueline Cristian did not win a single game during the grass Court season, but that is simply not a surface that she has ever done to master. Back on sound, she should feel much more comfortable, and a simple opening round gave her a little time to find her foundation. If she brings part of the level at which she reached the Rabat final and IGA Swiadek gives a hard game at Roland Garros, Jana Fett will not have so much to say in this case.
Prediction: Cristian in 2

Elina Avanesyan against Maria Lourdes Carle

Head: Avanesyan 1-0

Elina Avanesyan shot at this event last year, came so close to the title and gave a big lead against Mirra Andreeva. This week the Armenian had not won a game since Miami and urgently needs a run. In the past few months, she has only appeared at the greatest events (WTA 1000S + Grand Slams) without getting a traction. The seed No. 1 is a high -quality player, but she has to bring the level here because Maria Carle is able to use it from exploiting when she stalls.
Predict: Avanesyan in 3
