Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction #1 – Handicap (+4.5) for Liu – 1.60.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction #2 – Total Games Over 20 – 1.65.
Judging by the game in Chennai, Riske has lost the form she had in the home hard-court tournaments. Claire Liu is on a losing streak and is trying to break her bad luck, as could be seen from her play in Portoroz.
It cannot be said that Riske and Liu are at their best at the moment. It is unlikely that either of them will be able to pull off a convincing win today.
Claire Liu has been most successful on clay tournaments this season. In May, she managed to win the title in Paris and reached the final in Rabat. The American tennis player could not play further at such a high level.
For the start in Tokyo, Claire is coming off a four-game losing streak. Last week, she played in Portoroz where she lost in the first round to Anastasia Potapova (4-6, 6-7).
Alison Riske has shown her best qualities in the home hard courts. In Cincinnati, she managed to make it to the 1/8 finals and at the US Open, she got through to the same stage.
Overall on the season, Riske has 15 wins on a hard court with 12 losses. Last week, she played in Chennai. In the first round of that competition, she lost to Anastasia Gasanova (2-6, 3-6) without a chance.
Riske has lost five of her last six matches at the WTA-500 level.
In three of Liu’s last 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 odds of 1.66.
