Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction One – Handicap (-5.5) for Swiatek – 1.62.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Games Under 20 – 1.51.
The world #1 got off to a solid start in Toronto, leaving no chance for Tomljanovic. Swiatek was very bold and aggressive on the receiving end, which brought her success. Haddad Maia had problems in her two matches in the tournament net, not always working reliably on her own serve. We think that today Beatriz will have little chance to win.
Swiatek has accustomed her fans to the fact that she often wins in two sets, not prolonging the match. Seven of her last eight successful matches have been played in less than 19 games, which is what we expect today in Toronto.
Iga Swiatek had an unsuccessful home clay tournament in Warsaw and moved on to the hard court to build on her success. In Warsaw, world #1 suffered a shock defeat in the quarterfinals against Caroline Garcia (1-6, 6-1, 4-6).
In Toronto, Iga showed in her opening match in full measure that there is no slump in her game. Tomljanovic had no chance to win (6-1, 6-2). Interestingly, Ajla won two of her three games on serve. However, at the same time, Swiatek was unable to hold on to the reception – 70% of the points she scored.
Iga Swiatek has won 18 consecutive matches on the hard.
Haddad Maia has had a strong year in 2022 on grass. She had a 12-match winning streak with titles in Nottingham and Birmingham.
Beatriz’s return to the hard court has turned out to be unsuccessful. In San Jose, she was defeated by Claire Liu in the first round (2-6, 5-7). However, in Toronto, she came back on track with two victories over Martina Trevisan (6-2, 2-6, 6-2) and Leylah Annie Fernandez (7-6, 6-1).
Beatriz Haddad Maia has won 4 straight meetings against top-10 opponents.
In Swiatek’s five previous matches, less than 8.5 games were played in the second set. We offer to bet on “2nd Set Games – Under 8.5” with odds of 1.87.
