We've got one semi-final pick from the Oeiras Jamor Ladies Open today, with partially cloudy skies and a high of around 65°F keeping conditions comfortable on the clay. Let's get into it.
WTA Oeiras Jamor Ladies Open Predictions
Maja Chwalinska vs Robin Montgomery
Head-to-head: First meeting
The ranking gap here is pretty telling. Chwalinska is ranked 129th in the world and Montgomery is sitting at 416th, and reaching a clay-court semi-final at that ranking suggests Montgomery has had a good run this week, but Chwalinska is just a level above her on this surface. The Polish player has built her game around heavy clay-court tennis and this kind of slower, low-bouncing Iberian clay, which really does favor the grittier baseliners, should suit her well.
Hard to see this being competitive at all. That said, Montgomery will need everything to go right to have any chance, and even then it's a stretch. Chwalinska wins this comfortably, all things considered.
Prediction: Chwalinska in 2
