Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction #2 – Total Games Over 19 – 1.66.
In Toronto in August, Swiatek defeated Tomljanovic with a score of 6-1, 6-2. Today we expect such a convincing victory from Swiatek. Still, Ayla has had time to play well in the local venue, showing consistent tennis, and playing reliably on her serve. Iga has not played on tour for almost a month and will clearly need time to adjust to the local conditions. However, in my opinion, she will be able to overpower Ajla with a big handicap.
In Swiatek’s last five matches, there has been a minimum of 19 games played.
Iga Swiatek had a poor showing at the pre-slam hard courts in Toronto and Cincinnati, winning only two matches.

However, she had a very strong showing in New York, dropping only two sets in seven matches and taking her second Grand Slam of the season.
