LiontipsOceane Dodin vs Jaqueline Cristian. Predictions and Betting Tips for WTA Palermo
Command Analysis
Seems like Oceane Dodin has finally gained an excellent game form in summer. After a Wimbledon French player played on two low prestigious ITF tournaments, got some match practice and approached the start of Palermo tournament in great shape.
In first two matches in Italy French player didn't lose a single set to Dulgheru (6:3, 6:2) and Diatchenko (7:6, 6:4). Oceane was not always consistent, but she was saved by her powerful serve.
In 2021 Jaqueline Cristian is probably remembered by the tennis fans due to her great performance in Saint-Petersburg in the beginning of March.
