LiontipsJennifer Brady v Petra Kvitova. Predictions & Betting Tips for WTA Stuttgart Open
Command Analysis
Getting to the finals Australian Open had a big impact on Jennifer Brady. The American player was psychologically not ready to maintain such a high level.
After her success in Melbourne, Brady played in just two tournaments - in Doha and in Miami. Both times she lost in the opening matches: to Annet Kontaveit (1-6, 2-6) and to Sorribes Tormo (6-3, 4-6, 1-6), respectively. Undoubtedly, having taken a break should benefit Jennifer, and she is likely eager to find her winning ways in Stuttgart.
Petra Kvitova is the current champion of the Stuttgart Open (she won the tournament in 2019, and last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic the Stuttgart Open was cancelled).
The Czech tennis player is approaching the Stuttgart Open with the weight of unsuccessful recent performances. In Dubai, she lost in the opening match against Teichmann due to injury (2-6, 4-3). In Miami, Petra got to the 1/8 finals, but sadly lost to Svitolina (6-2, 5-7, 5-7). At the last tournament in Charleston, Kvitova had suffered a sensational defeat from Kovinich in the 1/8 finals (4-6, 1-6). With that in mind, it is very risky to talk about Kvitova's ability to defend the title, and to make bold predictions for her victory today.

Tip and bets
Petra Kvitova acts as a clear favorite in the bookmakers' line. The Czech woman has won two head-to-head matches. But at the moment Petra lacks stability and confidence. Brady will be extremely motivated to break her losing streak, and on the dirt the American is quite capable of keeping a positive handicap in games.
Our prediction is Brady to win with a handicap (+5) games.
If Brady finds her game and serves confidently, then we will most likely witness a very long match. Bookmakers do not offer a high total for the matches of the female players with a strong serve. So our second prediction is a duel with a high number of games.
We recommend betting on total over 21 games.
