Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction One – Handicap (-4.5) for Krejcikova – 1.46.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Games Under 20 – 1.60.
We don’t expect a sensation in the upcoming match. Krejcikova is playing at home, with the support of the local crowd, defending last year’s title. Barbora will obviously have no problems with motivation.
Blinkova has not won more than three games in her last losing matches. We don’t expect the tennis player to claim anything more today, considering the level of her opponent.
Blinkova has so far this season been completely unsuccessful in her attempt to return to the top 100. She is only ranked 141st in the current rankings.
At the beginning of July, Anna made it through one round at a small tournament in Contrexéville, before losing to Jasmine Paolini (0-6, 3-6).
In Lausanne, Blinkova qualified but was defeated in the first round of the main draw by Erika Andreeva (1-6, 2-6).
Saint-Malo is the only tournament so far where Blinkova has really put up a good fight and achieved a result. At the beginning of May, she reached the final. In the decisive match, she lost to Beatriz Haddad Maia (6-7, 3-6).
Anna Blinkova has lost five of her last six matches on hard court.
Krejcikova recently dropped to 19th place in the rankings, although not so long ago she was the 2nd player in the world.
The fall is mainly due to injuries, which forced her to miss the clay part of the season completely.
Krejcikova was able to recover for Roland Garros, but sensationally lost in the first round to Diane Parry (6-1, 2-6, 3-6), thereby failing to defend her title
A small progression in her game was seen at Wimbledon. In the singles competition, Barbora won two matches and in doubles, together with Katerina Siniakova won the tournament.
Last week, Krejcikova played two rounds in Hamburg before losing in the quarterfinals to Anastasia Potapova (1-6, 3-6).
Barbora Krejcíikova has won five in a row at the WTA tournament in Prague.
In five of Blinkova’s six previous matches, less than nine games have been played in the first set. We offer to bet on “1st Set Games – Under 9.5” with odds of 1.44.
