Command Analysis
In 2020 Kiki Bertens had a surgery on her achilles tendon. Her rehabilitation and comeback on tour took a very long time.
Since the start of 2021 Bertens played on four tournaments. She managed to win only one match. Her last performance to date was on May 1. Back then, Dutch player lost to Veronica Kudermetova at Madrid (4:6, 3:6).
It is also not a good season for Polona Hercog. An experienced Slovenian player won only 7 matches out of 16 played. And only one of those seven wins was recorded in the main draw of WTA tournament.

Croatian player also won the only head-to-head clash between the players on clay surface.
Our prediction - Herzog to win
All Bertens' matches during this season ended in straight sets and with under 21 games played. In the previous head-to-head games opponents played for 20 games, so we should bet on total under.
Our second bet is on total under 21.5 games
