Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction One – Handicap (+5) for Putintseva – 1.59.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Games Over 20 – 1.76.
Jessica was losing concentration against both Muhammad and Giorgi. At the same time, Putintseva after a difficult start has noticeably improved, she got the courage and today is quite capable to put up a decent resistance.
Pegula is unstable in Toronto, which could lead to a long match today. All the more, Putintseva is clearly playing up and won’t leave the court without a fight.
A week ago, Jessica Pegula didn’t have much luck making the transition to the hard court. In Washington, she suffered a surprise defeat in the second round to Daria Saville (5-7, 4-6).
In Canada, Jessica was able to win two matches, both of which were difficult for her. In the first round, she defeated Asia Muhammad (6-2, 7-5) in two sets. Then, Camila Giorgi (3-6, 6-0, 7-5) was defeated in only three sets.
Pegula has recorded 7 wins in her last 10 meetings against the representatives from the top 50.
Before 2022, Yulia Putintseva had never managed to break the first-round hurdle in Toronto. However, this time, she has delighted her fans.
In Canada, Putintseva has three victories under her belt. Interestingly enough, her toughest match was the first-round match against not the most powerful Katherine Sebov (3-6, 6-2, 7-5). From there, Yulia was able to add to it. At first, she defeated Paula Badosa (7-5, 1-0, walkover) who couldn’t finish the match because of an injury. In the 1/8 finals, Yulia defeated Alison Riske (6-3, 7-5).
Putintseva has lost 5 times in her last 6 matches as a clear underdog.
In only one of Pegula’s five previous matches, more than nine games have been played in the first set. We offer to bet on “1st Set Games – Under 9.5” with odds of 1.60.
