🔍 Match Breakdown

Siegemund has the experience and tactical arsenal to dominate shorter points and frustrate Pigossi. Her use of spin and finesse thrives on clay, especially when opponents lack aggression.

However, Pigossi’s defensive game and familiarity with Bogotá's altitude give her an edge in long rallies. If she can drag the match deep and extend points, she could turn it into a war of attrition.

🔮 Prediction

Pick: Siegemund in 3 sets

Pigossi’s altitude comfort and recent form suggest this could be closer than expected, but Siegemund’s craft and experience give her the slight edge—especially if she starts strong and mixes up the rhythm.
