Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction One – Handicap (+5) for Rakhimova – 1.77.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Games Over 19.5 – 1.80.
Given her many recent successes, Lesia Tsurenko gets the status of clear favourite. That said, we wouldn’t discount Rakhimova. She broke her losing streak, snatched a win from Ruse and will get the better of the court in her second-round match.
In the last six matches of Rakhimova, there have been two tie-breaks and two three-set matches. We expect it to be a tight battle.
For a long time since the beginning of the year, Lesia Tsurenko has been unable to prove herself fully. Most of the time, she was able to overcome the qualifiers of tournaments, but the main draw was regularly followed by failures. Her breakthrough came at a clay tournament in Istanbul, where she not only made it through qualification but reached the second round of the main draw as well.
Lesia really got her moment in the grass tournaments. In Eastbourne, she reached the semi-finals, and at Wimbledon, she managed to get through to the third round. As seen in her opening match against Carolina Alves (6-4, 6-1) in Budapest, Tsurenko is in good shape and ready to go further.
Lesia Tsurenko has won seven matches in a row as a favourite.
Kamilla Rakhimova delighted her fans in April when she managed to make the quarterfinals in Bogota. Thereafter, she did not shine in the Tour for a long time, losing most often in the opening matches.
In Budapest, bookmakers did not believe in Kamilla in her first-round match against Elena-Gabriela Ruse. However, Rakhimova was able to pull out a hard-fought win, showing willpower and character (6-4, 6-7, 6-3).
Kamilla Rakhimova has lost six of her last seven matches on the clay.
In three of Rakhimova’s previous five matches, over 9.5 games have been played in the first set. We offer to bet on “1st Set Games – Over 9.5” with odds of 2.17.
