Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction One – Handicap (-2) for Kudermetova – 1.77.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Games Over 21 – 1.80.
In our opinion, Veronika Kudermetova will have a better chance to win in the upcoming match. She is more even and stable in the season and is able to work more reliably on the back line.
Both tennis players will play their first match after a rather long break. It’s unlikely that they’ll be able to get into the game straight away. Expect the match to be a long one.
Giorgi has not yet played a single game since her sensational first-round loss to Magdalena Frech (6-7, 1-6) at Wimbledon.
She has decided to skip a few tournaments on the clay in July and spend this time preparing for the American series.
Early in the year, Giorgi won two matches at the Australian Open, but soon after failed to make the first round in St. Petersburg, Dubai and Lyon. So, this year, she does not have the best memories of the hard court.
However, it is worth remembering that last year Georgi won a major tournament in Montreal and reached the quarter-finals at the Olympic tournament in Tokyo.
Camila Giorgi has lost five times in her last six matches as an outsider.
Kudermetova has not played since mid-June when she lost to Belinda Bencic (6-3, 3-6, 3-6) in the quarterfinals in Berlin.
Before that, Veronika had a good performance in ‘s-Hertogenbosch, where she reached the semi-finals. She was also scheduled to play in Bad Homburg but had to withdraw shortly before the tournament due to a lower back injury.
Kudermetova’s season is going very well. She has reached the finals at three tournaments and finished in the top eight at Roland Garros.
In addition, in March, Veronika reached the quarter-finals at a major tournament in Indian Wells.
Veronika Kudermetova has won seven of her ten matches against lower-ranked opponents.
In three of Kudermetova’s last five matches, less than 9.5 games were played in the second set. We offer to bet on “2nd Set Games – Under 9.5” with odds of 1.75.
