LiontipsMaryna Zanevska vs Viktoria Kuzmova. Predictions and Betting Tips for WTA Gdynia
Command Analysis
Maryna Zanevska's career is going on since 2009, but she is still unable to break into the Top-100 of WTA rankings. Her best ever result is 105th position. Belgium representative usually plays on ITF tournaments, she rarely breaks into the main draw of WTA tournaments.
Zanevska is looking good on clay tournaments during the summer. In the previous week she reached the semi-final of Lausanne tournament. In the main draw of Swiss tournament she beat Teichmann, Vogele and Vikhlyantseva. In the semi-final Maryna was beaten by Tamara Zidansek (5:7, 3:6).
In Gdynia Zanevska started with a confident victory over an American player Loeb (6:2, 6:0).
Viktoria Kuzmova had a great start of her professional career, she even was in the Top-50 one day. But Slovakian player failed to hold on to that position and now she is only at the 156th position in the WTA rankings.
In the previous week Kuzmova had been playing on a hard tournament at Prague. A competition in Czech capital was pretty successful for Viktoria, she reached the quarter-final. A transition to clay in Gdynia turned out to be difficult for her. She barely avoided defeat in a long match against Varvara Gracheva (6:4, 6:7, 7:5).

Tip and bets
Maryna Zanevska is a clear favourite of this match by the bookmakers' choice. She had a successful tournament in Lausanne last week and took an easy victory in the first round at Gdynia. But Kuzmova is not playing bad either, she is fighting in every single match now. We think that it will be a contested match, so Slovakian player should be able to hold on to a plus handicap.
Our prediction - Kuzmova to win with a handicap of (+4) games
There is no significant advantage for either one of the players. In the only head-to-head match Zanevska recorded a victory, but she needed three sets to do that. We recommend to place a bet on total over.
Our second bet is on total over 20.5 games
