WTA Cleveland Day 2 Preview & Predictions
As the WTA Cleveland event, also known as Tennis in the Land, presses on on Day 2 at the scenic Jacobs Pavilion in Cleveland, Ohio, the tension—and the summer heat—is rising. With the US Open looming, every player is fine-tuning her form. Here’s the latest on the standout match and other key encounters:
1. Lois Boisson vs. Jil Teichmann
Lois Boisson, fresh off a sensational summer including a Roland Garros semifinal and her maiden WTA title in Hamburg, is now the 5th seed in Cleveland—world No. 47—facing Swiss left-hander Jil Teichmann in her tournament debut. According to the predictions from Last Word on Sports, Teichmann is expected to win in straight sets (Teichmann in 2).
On the other hand, Stats Insider, using a 10,000-simulation model, gives Boisson a 62% chance of victory. Meanwhile, Bleacher Nation echoes betting-market sentiment—Boisson is the favorite (about a 65.5% implied chance), with Teichmann the underdog at +145
It’s shaping up to be a true toss-up: Boisson has the stats and momentum, but Teichmann poses a tricky challenge with her lefty finesse and hard-court suitability.
2. Liudmila Samsonova vs. Caroline Dolehide
The top seed and 2022 Cleveland champion, Samsonova, is favored to dispatch Dolehide in two sets. Samsonova’s power and previous success make her a strong pick
3. Hailey Baptiste vs. Elena-Gabriela Ruse
Hailey Baptiste holds the edge: her hard-court strength is expected to tilt this matchup in her favor
4. Lucia Bronzetti vs. Viktorija Golubic
Bronzetti arrives with impressive recent form, including wins over top players in Cincinnati. Golubic, while capable, hasn’t had match action in North America recently—Bronzetti is the likely winner
