Cristina Bucsa - Victoria Mboko

I believe this is a very secure option, the young Frenchman has a good serve and net game, but this year he has not been successful on clay. Out of 3 tournaments on clay, he has only had success in the Brisbane tournament and the rest have been tragic. He has made many unforced errors and his opponent is very stable and has already won 2 matches this season. Thompson has a 4-0 record against him, even winning twice on hard court and clay this year. In fact, in their previous matches on clay, the Australian did not even have a breakpoint against the Frenchman's serve, while the Frenchman had 13 against the Australian. Despite it being a new day and a new match, it is difficult to expect anything positive from the Frenchman.
