LiontipsAna Konjuh vs Sara Errani. Predictions and Betting Tips for WTA Hamburg
Command Analysis
Ana Konjuh is coming back on tour after a number of surgeries on her hand in 2021. Croatian player has already achieved some success - for example, she reached the final of Belgrade tournament. But Paula Badosa didn't let her to claim a title in May. Ana would have more chances for a title in case if she didn't have to start from qualification, she just wasted all of her energy before the final.
But now, in Hamburg, she is full of energy. She started from the first round of the main draw. Paolini was her opponent. It was a close match, but a powerful offensive performance eventually brought a victory to a Croatian player (7:5, 7:5).
Sara Errani is on a mission to get back into the Top-100 of WTA rankings. An experienced Italian player is currently on a 105th place in the rankings.
Sara had a dangerous opponent in the first round, Fiona Ferro. Italian player was hugely underestimated by the bookmakers. Since the first games Sara established her dominance and was on a 5:0 lead in the first set, but barely avoided a defeat in that set. Nonetheless, Errani eventually took a victory over the Frenchwoman in straight sets (7:5, 6:3).

Tip and bets
Throughout her career, Errani is experiencing problems against physically stronger opponents. Her style of play is just not that good in those type of matches. Konjuh is not an exception. In 2021, Ana recorded a confident victory over Sara on the clay tournament at Istanbul (7:5, 6:2). We are expecting the same scenario in this match.
Our prediction - Konjuh to win with a handicap of (-3.5) games
Konjuh has a powerful serve, so she should be able to take her games pretty easily. Errani, on the other hand, is not so confident on her serve, opponents with an aggressive receive always create problems for her. We don't think that this match will take long.
Our second bet is on total under 21 games
