WTA Monterrey Day 3 Forecast
Antonia Ruzic vs Elisabetta Cocciaretto
Head to head: Cocciaretto 1-0 ruzic
It's almost impossible to be a close showdown on paper, with only two players rankings. Cocciaretto won relatively easily when they faced in Bastad earlier this year, but on the hard court the game should look completely different, and Ruzic definitely has a good chance to get revenge here.
prophecy: Ruzic 3
Marie Bouzkova vs Beatriz Haddad Maia
Head to head: Haddad Maia 4-1 Bouzkkova
Although Haddad Maia leads the head clearly, Bouzkova has won the first victory in this match when they face a better season in Rome, and Haddad Maia struggles at this point after a strong 2024 strong. At this point, Bouzkova looks better and in this game she should get an edge in this game.

Ekaterina Alexandrova vs. Ajla Tomljanovic
Head to head: Alexandrova 1-0 Tomljanovic
Tomljanovic won the epic first round, where he broke into the game twice while winning the game in the win. But Alessandrova should be too much of a hindrance for her, especially after making such a tough effort today. Alexandrova is in the highest ranking of her career and has played some great tennis and should move forward here.
prophecy: Alessandrova 2
Diana Shnaider vs Kamilla Rakhimova
Head to head: Shnaider 2-0 Rakhimova
Shnaider's progress isn't as expected this year, but she's another chance to make a breakthrough at the U.S. Open next week and hopes to gain momentum in that regard. On paper, she has a very clear advantage over Rakhimova, and even as a teenager, she beat her. Under normal circumstances, she should move forward here.
prophecy: Shnaider 2
