Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Games Over 20 – 1.87.
Putintseva will play with maximum commitment in Budapest, given her success on the local courts last year. Twice in her career, Yulia has beaten Schmiedlova and did so very confidently without giving up a set.
In their two head-to-head encounters, the final score was 2-0. We expect a similar scenario today.
Yulia Putintseva is having her usual unstable season, with only occasional good tournaments. She has been most successful on clay, with ten wins and five defeats since the start of the year.
In Budapest, Yulia shone a year ago. Then, she managed to win the trophy by defeating Anhelina Kalinina (6-4, 6-0) in the final. Undoubtedly, this time she will try to repeat the achievement and protect her ranking points.
Putintseva has won her last five matches as a favourite.
Anna Karolina Schmiedlova has been unable to achieve a decent winning streak all season long. At the same time, it is worth noting that in the last three tournaments, Anna Karolina looked very decent. On the clay, she managed to play in the semifinals in Makarska and a quarterfinal in Bastad.
Schmiedlova played in Budapest a year ago and was able to make it to the second round with a sensational win over Bega (6-3, 6-4).
Schmiedlova has lost five times in her last six matches at WTA 250 tournaments.
In two face-to-face meetings, less than 9.5 games have been played in the first set. We offer to bet on “1st Set Games – Under 9.5” with odds of 1.60.
