Niemeier Needs to Start Winning Main Draw Matches
Jule Niemeier had fallen to 165th in the world at the end of the 2023 season but then did well enough in 2024 to break into the top 100 and ended the season at 89th.
Things haven’t gone her way this year again.
Niemeier started off the year with a first round loss at the hands of Nao Hibino in Auckland and then failed to qualify for the Adelaide International. At the Australian Open, Niemeier won her first main draw match of the season but since then has played three more matches and lost them all.
This includes a qualifying loss at the WTA Dubai.
Which is why, after Niemeier had overcome Hanne Vandewinkel in the qualifiers here, she went into the second qualifying round against Eva Lys as a 17/10 underdog. A shocking 6-4, 6-3 win took her to the main draw here where she might have a decent shot at winning a round.
Montgomery v Niemeier Predictions
Not much to choose between these two with bookmakers offering 9/11 apiece for either to win. Backing Niemeier to edge the contest thanks to her experience.
