Prediction published on 05/04/2024, 05:03  by Ian John in Tennis Predictions

Marie Bouzkova, the top seed, will take on seventh seed Laura Siegemund in the quarterfinals of the Copa Colsanitas Bogota. Bouzkova has moved serenely into the quarterfinals with two straight sets wins over Rebecca Marino (6-0, 6-3) followed by a 6-3, 6-4 win over Hailey Baptiste in the second round. The Czech right-hander's two wins in this tournament are certainly welcome after losing six of her last ten. Bouzkova's quick fire wins in Bogota have seen her on court for under three hours so far, while her opponent has been on court for over 5 hours and 13 minutes. In the quick turnaround between the second round and quarterfinals, that could be a decisive factor. Clay isn't Bouzkova's best surface, she has won 10 of her 26 career tour level games on clay, a win percentage of just 38.5%. In comparison, her percentages for hard and grass courts are over 52%. However there are signs of improvement as in her last nine games on clay, she has won five, losing four.

Germany's Laura Siegemund has won six of her last ten matches to head into this match against the top seed with confidence. Irina Shymanovich was despatched 7-6(5), 7-5 in the first round in Bogota and the German followed that up witha 6-7(4), 6-4, 6-2 win over Great Britain's Francesca Jones in the second round. By reaching the quarterfinals here, Siegemund has matched her best performance so far in 2024, when she reached the same stage in Adelaide, losing then to Daria Kasatkina. Siegemund's performances have seen her Live ATP ranking improve to 83rd (compared to 40th for her opponent). A semi final against Cristina Bucsa or Kamilla Rakhimova awaits the winner.
