LiontipsJohanna Konta vs Elina Svitolina. Predictions and Betting Tips for WTA Montreal
Command Analysis
After winning a title at Nottingham in the beginning of June, Conta didn't play a single official match. She missed Wimbledon, Olympic Games and other tournaments. Everyone thought that she won't have any chances at Montreal due to lack of match practice. But Konta managed to record a victory in the first match. British player managed to defeat a comfortable opponent Zhang Shuai (4:6, 5:2). Chinese player was unable to finish the match though.
We should note that Konta's best result on that tournament is quarter-final in 2016.
Svitolina put up a successful performance at the Olympic Games. Ukrainian player won a bronze medal, beating Elena Rybakina in the match for a third place (1:6, 7:6, 6:4). Of course, Svitolina wanted a golden medal, but she was beaten in the semi-final by Marketa Vondrousova (3:6, 1:6).
Svitolina's most recent performance at Montreal was in 2018. Back then, she reached the semi-final, but was beaten by Sloane Stephens.
