Rain washed away the action on day one at the WTA Chennai Open, and as a result, fans have many exciting matches to watch on day two. As always, we at LWOT will offer predictions for every match on the slate, including Zeynep Sonmez vs Tatiana Prozorova. But who will advance?

WTA Chennai Day 2 Predictions

Caroline Werner vs Janice Tjen

Head-to-head: first meeting

Janice Tjen has been a sensation at the ITF level this season, and it has also helped her to start making a mark on the WTA Tour. She has made huge leaps in rankings and is now the highest-ranked player from Indonesia. Tjen is a dark horse this week for the title as she plays aggressively but also has real variety in her game, which can unsettle most players. Caroline Werner might not have much of a chance in this encounter.

Maaya Rajeshwaran Revathi vs Shrivalli Bhamidipaty

Head-to-head: first meeting

This is a big match for the tournament and local fans as two Indian wild cards battle against each other to get their first-ever tour-level win. 16-year-old Maaya Rajeshwaran Revathi has way less experience compared to Shrivalli Bhamidipaty, which could play a pivotal role in this match-up. Bhamidipaty plays an aggressive brand of tennis while her younger compatriot relies more on her defensive prowess. The higher-ranked player here should have the edge, but it should also be a close match.

Prediction: Bhamidipaty in 3

Lucia Bronzetti vs Katarzyna Kawa

Head-to-head: first meeting

Lucia Bronzetti has not made the progress this season as she would have hoped for, but a title this week could salvage the season for her. She has the game to do so, and she would be hoping to find some rhythm. Katarzyna Kawa has struggled since reaching the final in Bogota earlier this season, and on a hard court, she is not close to the level of the Italian. This should be a straightforward outing for Bronzetti.

Prediction: Bronzetti in 2
