Golubic Dumps Out Teichmann
Viktorija Golubic was a semifinalist in Nottingham last year, and has got off to a good start this year as well, defeating compatriot Jil Teichmann 6-4, 6-3 in the opening round.
Golubic, ranked no. 150 in the world, converted 4 of 6 break points and saved 1 of 3 to oust the world no. 123 in an hour and 20 minutes.
With the win, Golubic has improved to 10-11 across levels this season. This was just her second win at the tour level in 2023, following her first round success in Miami.
A quarterfinalist in Wimbledon in 2021, Golubic has been a consistent performer on grass over her career. She also made it to the quarterfinal at the ITF Surbiton this year and is aiming for a second straight quarterfinal appearance in Nottingham.
Vekic v Golubic Prediction and Tip
Both are fantastic grass court players and have got off to a great start, but Vekic has produced some excellent results at the top level this year and therefore she goes into the match as a favourite. Also, Golubic has only played against low ranked players in lower level tournaments, so it will be a huge challenge for her against the Croatian.
Tips:
- Low Risk Tip: Vekic to win: 1/3
- Moderate Risk Tip: Under 21.5 games in the match: 4/5
