LiontipsMuguruza vs Pavlyuchenkova. Predictions and Betting Tips for WTA Rome
Command Analysis
Garbiñe Muguruza had a month-long break in tour after a successful start of the season. In the round of 16 match at Charleston tournament against Yulia Putintseva Spanish player withdrew herself because of a leg injury. It turned out to be pretty serious. Garbiñe was hoping to return at Madrid tournament, but doctors recommend her to sit out, which she did.
Garbiñe will play her first match after the injury at Rome. She was the semi-finalist of the previous year edition. Of course, she will be motivated, but it will hard to show a good performance in the first match after the injury.
In the beginning of 2021 year Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova had disappointing results. Only at the most recent Madrid tournament Russian player finally show what she's capable of.
At the Spanish capital Pavlyuchenkova unexpectedly reached the semi-final. On her way she beat opponents like Keys, Pliskova, Brady and Muchova. Then Russian player lost to the eventual winner of the tournament, Aryna Sabalenka (2:6, 3:6), we had a prediction for that match.
