We've got one pick from today's action in Modena, where the WTA Memorial Eugenio Fontana final is set to be played under overcast skies and warm conditions. It's a fascinating finish to the week, with two players ranked outside the top 140 going head to head for the title. Who takes it?
WTA Memorial Eugenio Fontana Predictions
Katarzyna Kawa vs Lucia Bronzetti
Head-to-head: Kawa 1-0 Bronzetti
Kawa leads the head-to-head, but Bronzetti has home crowd energy on her side here in Modena, and that genuinely counts for something in a one-off final between two players at this level. Bronzetti has quietly been one of the more consistent Italian clay-courters on the WTA circuit, and getting to a final on home soil suggests she's found some real form this week.
Kawa is a solid clay player herself and that one H2H win shows she can handle Bronzetti, but I feel like the crowd, the occasion, and the surface all tilt things toward the Italian today. That said, these finals can go either way in three sets and this one probably will.
Prediction: Bronzetti in 3, all things considered.
