[23] Timea Bacsinszky (SUI) vs. Alison Van Uytvanck (BEL)

It is hard finding highlights for either player

The new Swiss Miss has a chance to solidify her status as a top 25 player.  Alison Van Uytvanck stands in her way.  Alison’s game has a bit more variety and touch than Bacsinszky’s, but the Swiss is quite consistent and a good mover.  I think on clay in a situation like a Grand Slam quarterfinal the more steady player has the better chance of advancing.  Therefore, I will tentatively pick the Swiss to win.

My Prediction: Timea Bacsinszky d. Alison Van Uytvanck 6-4, 6-3
