LiontipsErrani vs Stephens. Predictions and Betting Tips for WTA Parma
Command Analysis
Sara Errani reached the quarter-final of a WTA tournament for the second time in the season. She achieved the same result on the clay tournament at Bogota. Experienced Italian player is now performing in front of her compatriots, which is a huge moral boost.
In her starting match Errani defeated Romanian player Ana Bogdan in three sets (7:5, 4:6, 6:1). In the second round match against Sorribes Tormo Italian player also exchanged sets with her opponent and in the third set Sorribes left the match.

At Parma, Stephens had an unlucky draw. Her first match was against her compatriot, McNally (7:6, 6:4). Then she had a three-set match against Kasatkina, where Sloane secured a comeback victory (1:6, 6:4, 7:5).
