Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction One – Handicap (+3.5) for Paolini – 1.66.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Games Over 20 – 1.60.
Paolini in Portorož is defending the points for last year’s title and she has no problem with motivation. Siniakova managed to win two matches for the first time in recent times at the same tournament, but the Czech tennis player is not stable in the season as a whole.
It cannot be said that one of the opponents will have a significant advantage in class in the upcoming quarterfinals. There’s a good chance that we’ll see a tough encounter with a possible exchange of sets.
Katerina Siniakova did not perform at her best in the American hard series. The Czech player had only one victory in three tournaments. The return to Europe has turned out to be successful for the current world #82.
