The fate of the tournament has twice brought together Krejcikova and Kostyuk in a head-to-head encounter. Both times the Ukrainian player won in three sets. However, today we expect Barbora to beat Marta for the first time. The Ukrainian looked too unconvincing in her opening match, while the former second-ranked player served well against Tomljanovic and is ready to build on her success.
In their head-to-head encounters, the opponents have exchanged sets, which we can’t rule out today.
Krejcikova had a great win over Ajla Tomljanovic (6-1, 7-6) in her first match. The Roland Garros 2021 champion easily took the first set, but in the second set, she overpowered the Australian on the tie-break.
It was one of Barbora’s best matches in the last few months. This season is not going to be as successful for her as the previous one.
After Wimbledon, where she reached the third round, the Czech could only win more than one match in Hamburg.
At the US Open, Krejcikova sensationally lost in the second round to Aleksandra Krunic (6-2, 4-6, 2-6).
Kostyuk also had a tough opponent right away. The Ukrainian defeated Bernarda Pera (6-4, 4-6, 6-3), who won several tournaments in the summer.
As expected, everything was decided in the third set.
Kostyuk reached the first round in six of the last seven tournaments. She reached the third round in Eastbourne and the semi-finals in Granby.
Kostyuk has failed to get past the second round in four of her last five tournaments.
In Krejcikova’s last three matches, more than 9.5 games have been played in the second set. We offer to bet on “2nd Set Games – Over 9.5” with odds of 1.92.
