Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction One – Handicap (-2) for Pera – 1.85.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Games Under 21 – 1.79.
Both players have deservedly made it to the final and are clearly at the top of their game. Pera has beaten Krunic twice in her career, but the bookmakers don’t believe that she can win. However, I think that she will be able to get the third victory.
Both times the duels between the tennis players were hard fought and played more than 21 games, which we expect today as well.
Aleksandra Krunic’s last tour title dates back to 2018. Then, she managed to win the competition in ‘s-Hertogenbosch. At the moment, the tennis player is only 105th in the world ranking and her reaching the final in Budapest was very unexpected.
Aleksandra won all four of her matches with a score of 2-0 in each match. In fact, in none of the matches was there a serious struggle. In the quarterfinals, she beat Wang Xiyu (6-0, 6-1). In the semi-finals, she defeated last year’s winner Yulia Putintseva (6-2, 6-2).
Krunic has played exactly two sets in each of her past six bouts.
Bernarda Pera had one final appearance in 2022. In May, she lost her title bout in Karlsruhe (2-6, 4-6). After that defeat, she has not had much success for a long time and in Budapest, she shot again.
It must be noted that Pera started her tournament journey from the qualifiers and played six matches in the capital of Hungary during the last week. Like today’s opponent, Bernarda did not give up a single set. In the semi-finals, she defeated Anna Bondar (6-3, 6-4).
Bernarda Pera has won five of her last six matches as a favourite.
In Krunic’s last three matches, less than 9.5 games have been played in the second set. We offer to bet on “2nd Set Games – Under 9.5” with odds of 1.82.
