Ruse Seeking a Deep Run
Ruse arrives in Charleston after making the second round of Miami losing to Ryabkina 6-4 7-5 after defeating Konjuh in the opening round 6-3 6-4.
It has been patchy from Ruse, struggling to make any deep runs at tournaments this year, however, most of her losses have come against players ranked higher than her, so she will be hoping for some nicer draws as the season continues. Furthermore, as she continues to improve her ranking, Ruse will avoid having to qualify for the main draw which she has had to do on a number of occasions so far this season, further increasing the difficulty of making a deep run.
However, Ruse is directly into the main draw in Charleston without having to qualify and she will open against a player ranked lower than her, so is the favourite going into the match. A win over Baptiste will set up a tie with either Cornet or Parks in round two.

Baptiste Closing in on Top-100
Like Ruse, Baptiste has had to navigate her way through qualifying rounds to reach the main draw, however, has direct entry into Charleston this week. The American is currently ranked outside the top-100 at 122nd.
Indian Wells and Miami saw opening round defeats for Baptiste, losing out to Tomljanovic and Begu in 3-set battles. The American’s most notable result of the year came at the Australian Open, where she made her way through qualifying to the second round.
To qualify, she defeated Murray, Stojanovic, and Yuan and then backed up these wins with an impressive win over Garcia in the first round, defeating the Frenchwomen 4-6 7-6(4) 6-3. Inglis ended her run in the second round, ousting Baptiste 7-6(4) 2-6 6-2.
Ruse v Baptiste Prediction and Tip
An enticing match-up between two players with contrasting game styles with Baptiste aiming to crush winners and overpower her opponent, whereas Ruse will be more consistent hitting fewer winners but also making fewer errors. I think the consistency of Ruse will force Baptiste to overpress and overhit resulting in a higher number of unforced errors, with Ruse advancing to the next round.
Tip: Ruse to win: 2/5 (Click Here to Bet with bet365)
