🔍 Match Breakdown

A classic experience-vs-youth battle: Alves brings rally tolerance and poise, while Leme Da Silva is talented but raw, with her serve and decision-making prone to errors under pressure.

Indoor courts remove Alves’s clay advantage, but her steadiness should outlast the debutant’s inconsistency. The crowd may cheer the teenager, yet in longer rallies Alves’s experience is likely to prevail.

🔮 Prediction

Alves’s composure and stability give her the edge here. Unless she drops her level dramatically, she should control the match and force errors.

Pick: Alves in straight sets.
