Another Ghana with a lot of value placed on it. Of course, I was expecting about 2.5 odds for Tagger, still the first steps towards higher levels.
Blinkova Anna plays at higher levels, but recently it hasn't been going well for her. Looking at this tournament, she is playing very poorly on her serve, weak on both first and second serves, with a considerable number of double faults, and moves weakly on the court. At first glance, she seems a bit overweight, like a piece of gum under the court. The only thing she can do here is somehow take advantage of the game, but she also makes a lot of mistakes and moves weakly.
Tagger Lilli, at 17 years old, has a lot of potential but needs to avoid injuries. She has excellent technical skills, a stronger serve than Blinkova, and she is psychologically very strong, with a great mentality. I didn't expect that such a young player would be able to maintain this level of play after the clay season and on a fast hard court.
Even players at the WTA level like Cocciaretto E. and Korpatsch T. have lost to her in straight sets, while she was able to push the technically strong Golubic to a third set after being down 2:5, eventually winning 7:5.
In their previous matches, Blinkova has a record of 0:3 against the same Golubic. I think that a match against the Swiss will be much easier for the Austrian, as the Russian tries to end points quickly, makes a lot of mistakes, and is weaker technically.
A 2-0 victory is definitely possible here.
