Yastremska vs Paolini: prediction for the WTA Portoroz match

Dayana Yastremska is having a difficult return on tour after a doping scandal. We can't say that she is in a poor form, but she is lacking something to launch a winning streak. 

At US Open Yastremska was extremely close to a victory in the first round match against Kerber. But eventually she lost a tiebreak of the third set (6:3, 4:6, 6:7). Before that she played against the winner of Roland Garros, Barbora Krejcikova, in the second round of Cincinnati tournament (1:6, 6:7). Her opponents in Portoroz won't be so strong, so she has a chance to fulfill her potential. 

Jasmine Paolini is having a successful season, she secured her position in Top-100, she is currently at 87th position of WTA rankings. Italian player put up a great performance on clay, she won a title of Bol tournament in Croatia. 

Paolini played her most recent official match at US Open. She recorded a victory over Jaroslava Shvedova (6:3, 6:4). In the second round Paolini was beaten by Victoria Azarenka (3:6, 6:7).
