Linda Noskova is not known for very stable gameplay, as she often has three-set battles, similar to Pegula. Plus, as an underdog, with Xinyu Wang improving her game this year, she will have more support and with a head to head record of 1:0 in Noskova's favor, that will give the Chinese player additional motivation.

Bartunkova Nikola 19 years old Czech, who has already traveled quite far, significantly overperforms compared to her usual game. She is not as impressive in terms of the game. I believe Thailand's Tararudee, with whom Mertens played in the first round, was in better shape.
Mertens Elise 30 years old Belgian, a stable Grand Slam player, consistently performs well in these tournaments. I doubt if Bartunkova will pull off another match, as in her last two, she had to let go of the second set 0:6 to catch her breath for the third.

Bartunkova Nikola, 19 years old, from the Czech Republic, is pushing too far ahead and widely overperforming for her game. She is not as impressive in terms of her performance. I think Tararudee from Thailand, with whom Mertens played in the first round, was in better form.
Mertens Elise, 30 years old from Belgium, is a steady Grand Slam player and consistently performs well in such tournaments. I doubt if Bartunkova will be able to win another match, as in her last two, she had to let go of the second set with a 0:6 score to catch her breath for the third.

Sweden Hockeyallsvenskan.. the central match of the round, a meeting between neighboring teams from the second and third tables. The visitors are a more solid and more decorated participant in this league, but this season they have not shown consistency and struggle on the attacking end. The hosts are having one of their best seasons in club history, feeling the taste of success, and today they will strive for nothing less than a better result. In their last meetings, a fierce battle ended with a 5-4 victory for Kalmar, and I hope for something similar today. I choose the safer option, Kalmar Draw no Bet.

In theory, there should be a closely contested fight between teams of similar strength. The most satisfying thing is Toulouse's recovery. In the first round, Chartres won 83-88 on the road, but then Toulouse played without injured Murekatetes, and Limouzin and Reimer had not yet arrived. The only change in the Chartres team since then has been the arrival of Lawrence, replacing Baker.

Only non-defensive teams meet. Toulouse finally showed signs of life and with the addition of Limouzin and Lindstrom's recovery, they already defeated Peru twice. Chartres also won against Angers in their away game. Both teams were in good form, so this total seems manageable. In the first round, Chartres won 83-88 in their away game.
