Sonmez Zeynep is a higher level player, participating only in the biggest WTA tournaments. Gasanova Anastasia mostly plays in the ITF level throughout the season. However, I hope Sonmez will become more consistent, as Gasanova tends to have fewer aces and more double faults, and she also doesn't shy away from taking big risks that can lead to unforced errors.
Both strong progressing tennis players. Tagger - 17 years old, stands out for her great stability even at a young age, plays well on clay surfaces in Europe, but can also play decently on hard courts, a good fighter with a lot of endurance, able to win matches even after three sets, has a lot of power, strong strokes. Last year, she already reached a decent challenger final on hard courts in China; before that, she had beaten Cocciaretto E., Korpatsch T., and Golubic V.
Tararudee Lanlana - 21 years old from Thailand also looks good on hard courts, plays tactically well, but according to Australian Open statistics, has a low percentage of first serves, and her second serve is significantly weaker, so it is likely that Tagger will try to attack it.
Vengras solidus [here "solidus" means "solid", "stable"] hard court tennis player, and although he lacks stability to become a TOP 20 tennis player, he has the mastery for it. Now already a solid tournament, where he defeated well-known Monfils and Ruud, shows how good of a form the Lithuanian is in, and in such form, he is very dangerous. The American [player], on the other hand, is not aiming for such level, and even the match accompanied by luck with Borges [referring to a match they had], I believe, has already used up all of his wishes. All in all, the stronger and in good form Fabian has what it takes to win against him in a match between them.
I think the Italian could pose a serious challenge to Girona. The American is a good tennis player and although he doesn't have a strong serve, he gathers many points through his game. But the Italian, even though inconsistent, is able to win points with just one shot. In the first set of the tournament, Darderi didn't look so good, but he found his rhythm and now I believe he should play well and not lose the match, especially considering that they both have a shared history in Peru. So the Italian can confidently win.
I believe that players of different levels meet here. The rising Machac has already beaten Djokovic himself last year, and his results on hard courts are also good. I think the ranked players in the tournament are clear favorites against the Spaniard. Considering Machac's results and his performance on hard courts, as well as the favorable match-up, I believe we can expect a win from the Czech player. The Spaniard will not dominate the game, and relying on his opponent's mistakes should not be beneficial, so I believe Machac will come out on top.
Dear Greetje - 28 years old Belgian has a lot of experience in tournaments of this level, higher stability, significantly better first serve percentage, and can also hook up, because Linda Klimovicova - 21 years old Lithuanian, is still young and just starting to climb the ITF rankings, but when she feels a bit of pressure, starts to make double faults and likes to take risks. Overall, the Lithuanian has a lot of strength, good wins in Ghana, but sometimes struggles against stronger opponents.
The teams have an average of ~11.2 corners during such matches. They tend to attack a lot from the sides and Rayo Vallecano dominates by keeping the game near the opponent's goal, so there will be quite a few corners.
Even though Indus is better for today, the odds for the Brit are tempting. The Brit enjoys a hard race and performs well, even at a lower level. Last season, a lot of Peru was gathered and so far it looks really good. Even though Indus has talent, he often lacks something and is not very reliable. Here 3 to 1 for the Brit suits me well.
Trungelitti, as always, plays above his abilities in the qualifiers, but he is significantly better here. He has a strong serve, and his form seems to be good. Trungis hasn't beaten anyone good here. He is playing against a local average player and Rocha, who is not a good hard court player. Therefore, the Portuguese player seems like a reliable option to me. I'm trying to go for a handicap bet.
Although we won't see many players from Real's lineup today, we should have Vinicius, Gonzalo, and Mastantuano up front. There will be a lot of speed up front and it is likely that there will be a lot of freedom since Xabi Alonso left. Despite missing some key players, the majority of the team today will still be a mix of the main lineup, so there are also good names in defense and safe line. Albacete's form has dropped and the team has not shown good defense throughout the season. Today, almost the entire list of "undesirable" players who were against Alonso will play for Real. I am waiting for their reaction.
