Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction One – Handicap (+5) for Saville – 1.72.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Games Over 20 – 1.75.
Since moving to grass, both players have been unstable, occasionally losing focus during their matches. Saville is improving from match to match, Daria has no authority on the court and will obviously fight for every ball. We don’t think you can expect a blowout for the favourite tonight.
We expect that Daria will be able to put up a decent resistance. Moreover, in three of the last five matches, she has played tie-breaks.
Daria Saville is improving from match to match on grass. Last week in Hertogenbosch, she failed to beat Caty McNally in the first round (6-7, 3-6). In Berlin, she has three wins under her belt after qualifying.
In the qualifiers, Daria took on Noma Akugue Noha (7-5, 6-4) and Sabine Lisicki (6-0, 7-6). In the first round of the main draw, she beat Jil Teichmann (6-7, 7-5, 6-2) in a tight three-set battle.
Maria Sakkari has been very unstable on the tour since April. She has never made it beyond the quarterfinals at any tournament. There are noticeable periodic drops in play, especially when the first serve does not go. Last week in Hertogenbosch Maria failed to reach the quarter-finals against Haddad Maia (4-6, 6-4, 3-6).
In Berlin, Sakkari did not have the strongest opponent in the first round. She defeated Leolia Jeanjean in two sets (6-3, 6-2).
Maria Sakkari has notched up six wins in her last ten matches against lower-ranked opponents.
In three of Sakkari’s previous five matches, less than 9.5 games have been played in the first set. We offer to bet on “1st Set Games – Under 9.5” with the odds of 1.63.
