In the first round of the Challenger in Andorra, Rebecca Peterson and Arantxa Rus will play each other. Both players are having an unstable season. Rus has dominated the last few tournaments at the ITF, beating weaker opponents. Peterson has been a regular on the hard court, though Rebecca has not been at her best in the second half of the season. At major tournaments the Swedish representative also looks weak, often losing to better-ranked opponents. The match will start on November 28 at 16:00․
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction #1 – Handicap (-0.5) for Rus – 1.94.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction #2 – Total Games Under 22 – 1.84.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction #3 – 1st Set Games Under 9.5 – 1.672.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction #4 – Sets Scoring: 2=1 – 5.1.
Both tennis players are not having their best season and at the end of the year, they are trying to rectify the situation. Both Arantxa and Rebecca are now far from their peak form. It is worth, we think, paying attention to two personal meetings, in which Rus confidently won. In these duels, which took place on clay and hard court, the Dutch player let Peterson win only five games in total. Rus is clearly comfortable playing against the Swedish tennis player.
In their two head-to-head encounters, the two opponents did not exchange sets. In those matches, no more than 15 games were played. We expect that today’s match will not be a long one either.
Rebecca Peterson failed to prove herself at the WTA tournaments in 2022 and left the top 100. The Swedish tennis player is now ranked 134th in the world.
In October and November, Peterson competed in less prestigious tournaments in Las Vegas and Meitar. At these events, she managed to reach the semi-finals and finals respectively.
In that matches, she defeated Astra Sharma (7-6, 7-5) and Yue Yuan (6-3, 7-6).
Rebecca Peterson has lost nine of her last ten matches to higher-ranked tennis players.
Arantxa Rus is not having the most successful season either and is currently outside the top 100. The tennis player is only 115th in the world.
It should be noted that in November, Rus managed to play in three tournaments that are not the most prestigious. The best result was in Sharm El Sheikh, where she managed to win the title.
On her way to the title, she defeated Tessah Andrianjafitrimo (6-3, 6-3) and Yuliya Hatouka (6-2, 6-1).
Arantxa Rus has notched up eight wins in her last ten matches on fast surfaces.
