Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction One – Handicap (+4) for Martic – 1.77.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Games Over 21 – 1.85.
In their only head-to-head encounter on clay, Martic won. It is not out of the question that she will at least put up a fight against Belinda.
Martic can put up a fight against Bencic. In this tournament, Belinda is not yet impressive in action. In her previous matches, she has been unconvincing. We don’t think Petra will leave the court without a fight.
Martic has played well in her two previous matches and has not lost a single set.
In the first round, she got a confident victory over Nuria Parrizas-Diaz with a score of 6:2, 6:2.
In the next match, Petra easily defeated Erika Andreeva (6-4, 6-2). If in the first set her opponent put up a good fight, the second set passed almost without a struggle.
It is also worth noting that Martic had a successful performance at the recent Wimbledon. In the fourth round, she was stopped by the future champion of the tournament Elena Rybakina (5-7, 3-6).
Petra Martic has won five of her last six matches at tournaments in Europe.
Bencic has already had to get a little nervous. In the first round, she had a bad start against Diane Parry, losing a set. However, Belinda eventually got a comeback. Moreover, in the third set, she gave up only one game.
In the second round, Belinda defeated Susan Bandecchi (6-3,6-4) in two sets.
Bencic had a very poor showing at Wimbledon, losing her first match to Wang Qiang (4-6, 7-5, 2-6). This was very unexpected in the background of a successful performance in Berlin, where the Tokyo Olympic champion reached the final.
In the context of the upcoming match, it is worth noting that Bencic won the Charleston clay tournament in spring and reached the third round at Roland Garros.
Belinda Bencic has registered seven wins in her last ten matches on the clay.
In the last three head-to-head matches, less than 9.5 games have been played in the first set. We offer to bet on “1st Set Games – Under 9.5” with odds of 1.75.
