Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction One – Handicap (+3) for Petkovic – 1.74.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Games Under 21 – 1.72.
Both players have withdrawn in their recent matches due to health problems and it is difficult to make a definite prediction as to who is better prepared to start in Washington. It should be noted, however, that Tauson has not been able to prove herself fully throughout the season due to injuries. Petkovic has been successful more than once in Washington and is probably capable of starting with a win today.
We also expect that the encounter will not turn out to be a long one, given the recent problems of the tennis players. It is likely that someone will be completely unprepared to play in Washington.
Andrea Petkovic returns to Washington after four years. It is worth noting that this tournament has been very successful in the career of an experienced tennis player. Three times she has played here, once she made it to the finals, and twice more she appeared in the semi-finals.
Andrea comes to the start in the USA after playing in the home clay tournament in Hamburg. At that tournament, she had a quarterfinal exit. However, because of an injury, she could not finish the match against Anett Kontaveit.
Petkovic has played no more than two sets in each of her last ten matches.
Due to regular health problems, Clara Tauson cannot fully prove herself and go on a decent winning streak in 2022. She has only won seven matches since the start of the season while suffering eight defeats.
The last time Tauson played on the tour was a month ago at Wimbledon. Then, because of an injury, she could not finish the match against Mai Hontama in the first round. Clara had never played in Washington before this year.
Tauson has lost her last four games in a row.
In Petkovic’s four previous matches, less than 9.5 games have been played in the second set. We offer to bet on “2nd Set Games – Under 9.5” with odds of 1.55.
