Kontaveit at the 2022 Hamburg European Open. On paper, Kontaveit is the firm favorite to win this contest. But given her recent struggles, partly due to her health, she might have her hands full with Bara. The Estonian's results on clay have gotten progressively worse over the years. After winning a total of 22 matches on the surface across 2017 and 2018, Kontaveit has won a total of 16 matches over the last four years. If she is back to her best, this could be an opportunity for her to make a deep run in a clay event. Bara isn't too experienced at the WTA level, and has lost her previous couple of matches against top 10 players. Kontaveit's power-packed game could prove to be quite overwhelming for the Romanian to handle. Bara lacks firepower in her groundstrokes and will aim to counter the World No. 2 with some finesse and consistent shotmaking. Kontaveit has a lot of points to defend in the coming months, so doing well here will certainly take some pressure off her shoulders. The Estonian could be off to a slow start, but should eventually be able to overcome her opponent and advance further. Pick: Anett Kontaveit to win in straight sets.
