Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction One – Handicap (+3.5) for Martic – 1.92.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Games Over 20 – 1.74.
Martic has played three matches in Rome. She is very motivated and defending last year’s semi-final. Kontaveit has not played anywhere since Stuttgart, and in Germany, she has not been very stable either. In their two head-to-head encounters, the two rivals have exchanged victories.
Kontaveit has an open streak of five consecutive three-set matches. Martic also often plays long matches, as was evident in her game against Muchova.
After a poor start to the season, Petra Martic has gradually played her way through some successful tournaments. She has reached the quarterfinals of Indian Wells and the second round of Madrid, where she had to overcome the qualification.

In Rome, a year ago Martic shone and managed to reach the semifinals. All Petra’s thoughts, of course, are to protect ranking points for her. So far, everything is going according to plan for the 47th ranked racket in the world. Two wins in qualifying and a win over Karolina Muchova in the first round of the main draw (6-2, 3-6, 6-1) stand behind her.
Anett Kontaveit:
Anett Kontaveit has played only one tournament this season. In Stuttgart, she reached the quarterfinals. Anett has not played in Madrid and it’s hard to judge how ready she is to play in the Italian capital.

In general, the last matches of the fifth racket of the world have been very unconvincing. In Stuttgart, she managed to get two wins, but both times she played three sets each. It should be noted that in her last two starts in Rome, Kontaveit did not make it past the second round.
