Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction One – Handicap (-4) for Kontaveit – 1.43.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Games Under 20.5 – 1.64.
Kontaveit’s streak of bad luck has clearly been dragging on. The upcoming match against Bara is a great opportunity to get a confident victory and believe in her own strength. Yet, Bara is not only inferior in terms of class but also not in the best shape.
There is a big difference in class between the two players and we don’t expect Bara to win more than eight games.
Anett Kontaveit is clearly in a prolonged playing crisis. In April, she played in the quarterfinals of Stuttgart. In the next three tournaments, she managed to win only one match.
Hamburg is not exactly the most difficult of tournaments. A very good opportunity for Anett to finally break her bad streak and gain confidence in her own abilities. It should be noted that Kontaveit played five matches on the clay in 2022 and has 2 wins only.
Kontaveit has won her last 10 consecutive matches at the WTA-250 level.
Irina Bara is currently outside the top 100 and is not happy with her performance and results. Since the beginning of the year, she has had 21 wins on tour, while suffering 20 defeats. Most of the time, she performs at tournaments which are not the most prestigious.
Coming up to Hamburg, Bara comes after a bad showing on a clay court in Rome. She narrowly defeated Nuria Brancaccio (6-4, 2-6, 6-2), but was defeated in the second round by Diana Shnaider (6-3, 4-6, 1-6).
Bara has won her last four first-round matches.
In only one of Bara’s five previous matches, more than 9 games were played in the first set. We offer to bet on “1st Set Games – Under 9.5” with odds of 1.53.
