Bencic has experience beating the Czech, as she leads 2-0 in head-to-head encounters. Her last win came at the Tokyo Olympics. Clearly, Bencic is not a comfortable opponent for Krejcikova. Expect another win for Belinda today.
Krejcikova should clearly not be discounted right away. She’s having one of her best tournaments since her return and could well claim a set win today. Bencic is not always stable, Boulter won a set against her.
After returning to the tour in May, Barbora Krejcikova had trouble finding her game and only made it to the semi-finals of the WTA tournament for the first time in Tallinn.
Krejcikova’s tourney grid was very difficult from the first round on. Ajla Tomljanovic (6-1, 7-6), Marta Kostyuk (7-5, 6-3) and Beatriz Haddad Maia (6-3, 6-4) tried to stop Barbora, but none of them succeeded. All of her opponents Barbora defeated them 2-0 in sets. With each match, the victories were more confident.
In four of Krejcikova’s last five matches, more than 19 games have been played.
Belinda Bencic had not competed on tour since the US Open and before the start in Tallinn. The comeback after the break was not easy. In the first round, she defeated Elena Malygina (6-0, 6-2). In the second round, she had a three-set battle with Katie Boulter (6-4, 6-7, 6-3).
In the quarterfinals, Belinda awaited Donna Vekic (6-4,6-1). There was no intrigue in that game. Bencic was stronger in every aspect of her performance.
