THE PREDICTION

22-year-old Varvara Gracheva can break the top 40 on tour for the first time with one more win in Strasbourg after blasting past Selina Janicijevic on Wednesday. The Russian is enjoying the best form of her career so far but all of her best results have come on hardcourts so far, with back-to-ack round of 16 exits across the Sunshine Double seeing defeats by both eventual champions. Former world number three Elina Svitolina claimed her first tour-level win since returning from maternity leave in the first round here and a walkover to the quarter-finals should have boosted her recovery nicely. The 28-year-old will find extra motivation to perform here as a Ukrainian facing a Russian but Gracheva certainly has the better form behind her this season. Three sets seem likely here and so taking Gracheva to earn at least one of them looks the most sensible way to avoid picking a winner.
