Taylah Preston has been a breakthrough player this season and should see herself as the favorite over Tamara Korpatsch.
Match News and Form
Tamara Korpatsch may have pulled off a runner-up finish in Ostrava earlier this season, but she has been underwhelming on hard courts elsewhere. In fact, the German has played three tournaments on hard courts since her Hamburg title on home clay and could win only one match.
Taylah Preston reached her second career quarterfinal, and her first outside home soil, in Seoul last week after defeating Jelena Ostapenko in straight sets. The 20-year-old has found a place in the top 100 with the help of other hard-court success, including titles at W100 Tokyo and WTA 125 Vancouver.

Betting Analysis
Tamara Korpatsch hasn't played a match since the US Open and hasn't won a match since Cincinnati. She isn't having the best time on hard courts this season, which allows rising star Taylah Preston to enter this match as the clear favorite.
