Heather Watson vs. Donna Vekic. Prediction and Betting Tips for WTA Birmingham

Command Analysis

The 2021 season is not going well for Heather Watson. Before the start of the grass part of the season, the British tennis player managed to win only two matches on hard. On clay, Heather never scored a single victory.
But her transition to grass turned out to be quite successful. Last week in Nottingham, she managed to get into the second round. And this week, Watson improved her result in Birmingham and made her way to the quarterfinals. The tennis player has a victory over Golubic (3-6, 6-2, 6-2). In the second round, Heather was lucky, as her opponent Zhang Shuai withdrew during the first set.

Donna Vekic underwent knee surgery in 2021, but gradually gained form and managed to score three victories in two weeks in Nottingham and Birmingham on grass. In the first round, Vekic went against Jones, whom the Croatian confidently beat in two sets (6-1, 6-3). In the second round against Camila Giorgi, Donna had to come back after a lost set (2-6, 6-3, 6-4).
