LiontipsSorana Cirstea vs Victoria Azarenka. Predictions and Betting Tips foe WTA Montreal
Command Analysis
Clay part of the season was extremely successful for Cirstea. It is not a surprise, clay is the most favourite surface for the Romanian player. But a transition to the grass was not so successful. Sorana found her game only at Wimbledon, where she recorded a victory over Azarenka (7:6, 3:6, 6:4) and also managed to beat Samantha Murray (6:3, 6:3).
Cirstea won the first match on a current tournament. She eliminated Alison Riske from the competition (6:3, 6:4).
Azarenka performed well on the grass. Victoria reached the semi-final of Berlin tournament and then the quarter-final of Bad-Homburg tournament. But Belarusian player completely failed at the Wimbledon. After a victory over Kateryna Kozlova in the first round (6:1, 6:3) Victoria was beaten in the second one by Sorana Cirstea.
We should note that Azarenka has never won a Montreal tournament. She reached the semi-final twice, but for the most recent time it happened in 2010. After that her best achievement here is the quarter-final.

Tip and bets
Cirstea recorded a victory over Azarenka not too long ago. Victoria is unlikely to get revenge here. After the Wimbledon she didn't play on hard courts, so she will need some time to get used to it.
We think that Cirstea will be able to put up a fight against the Belarusian player. We offer a bet on plus handicap for the Romanian player.
Our prediction - Handicap (+4) games for Sorana Cirstea
Most recent head-to-head match between those players ended in three sets. We don't think that someone will be able to record an easy victory here. Opponents will probably fight until the end, so we think that they will beat the total of 19 games.
Our second bet is on total over 19,5 games
