Anna-Lena Friedsam vs Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova. Predictions and Betting Tips for Summer Olympics

On the tournaments before the start of the Olympic Games Anna-Lena Friedsam was not convincing at all. German player approached the Tokyo tournament with a string of four consecutive defeats. But despite that, 119th WTA player started with a victory at the Japanese capital.

Friedsam played against Watson, who is in a bad form now. Anna-Lena recorded a victory in a tight clash (7:6, 6:3). We should mention that Friedsam didn't lose a single game on her serve during the match.

Before the Olympic Games Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova performed below expectations at the Wimbledon, where the Russian player was beaten in the third round by Karolina Muchova (5:7, 3:6). Nonetheless, in the first round of Tokyo tournament it became clear that all Russian players are ready for the Games.

First match against Sara Errani was pretty easy for Anastasia (6:0, 6:1). But Pavlyuchenkova admitted that it was not easy to play because of weather conditions. During the match Anastasia had a heatstroke.
