Kukushkin, Mikhail (KAZ) - Klizan, Martin (SVK)

I can't seem to figure out this match at all, even though it's just for two sets. Alexandrova has been showing some improvement in recent months, but if there's still something missing for her to win tournaments, her game tends to break down after three or four rounds. Either way, Russia is still unstable, if she easily loses a set 6:1, there's a high chance she'll lose the next one as well.

Bencic has been dealing with health problems this season, but even when she is playing, her immunity as a winner is higher than that of the Russian player. And Belinda is more stable in this aspect, although she often ends up playing three sets with stronger opponents. The H2H on grass between these opponents shows that they have played three times, with Alexandrova currently leading 2:1, and two of those matches were won in three sets. The most recent match was in Germany, where Alexandrova won 6:1; 6:2, which I see as a positive sign as it was her first tournament and Belinda most likely wanted to drop out early from that one.

I can't see this match at all, despite there being two sets. Alexandrova has been gaining momentum in the last few months, but if there is still something missing for her to win tournaments, her game always seems to fall apart after three or four rounds. However, no matter what, Russia is still unstable and if they lose a set easily with a score of 6:1, there is a high chance they will lose the next one as well. Bencic has had health problems this season, but if she does play, her immunity as a winner is of a higher level than that of Russia. And Belinda is more stable in this regard, but still often plays three sets against stronger opponents. In the H2H record on grass, today's opponents have already played three times, with Alexandrova leading 2:1. Two of the matches were played with three sets. The last time they played was quite recently in Germany, where Alexandrova won 6:1, 6:2. I think this is a positive for her, as it was the first match of the tournament, and Belinda probably wanted to skip that smaller tournament. As a higher level and stability fighter, Bencic is unlikely to let Alexandrova win for the second time in a row, so I would give her the edge.

Both players played against weaker tennis players until this stage and Ghana easily made it here. I think the odds are too high for Demon, who definitely has something to offer against Djokic. Although Nole is great on grass, the Australian is not far behind. They were supposed to meet in the quarter-finals last year, but De Minaur withdrew. I believe this will be a tough match and the outcome may be decided after many hours of playing, so this odds is very suitable for giving it a try.

Completely equal opportunities, I would say, are available here with a good coefficient. Even on the Wimbledon courts, the American has better results. Another thing is Navarro, who will most likely have some support in the stands, while I doubt the Russian will, and since she is only 18 years old, she is greatly affected by the spectators, especially in matches against her, as she often gets off balance when playing with Gauff, where the Russian's game completely unravels. Andreeva is very technical, but lacks the strength for a full win, which often causes her to struggle on fast courts. After a slow start to the season, Navarro found her game and confidence during the grass season, as seen in her match against Haddad at the Queens tournament. Navarro's game and certainty have emerged.

Very similar tennis players meet there. Both have a very good serve and a weak reception. I don't see any guaranteed bet on Peru from Shelton. I think today's game will be a full 5 sets. Shelton looked weak on grass until Wimbledon and would often break down mentally. Sonego is also not very strong mentally. From very similar players, one could expect a match like Sonego had with Nakashima. Head-to-head matches (4) have never ended in straight sets.
