Caroline Garcia won three head-to-head matches out of four. But Frenchwoman is far from her perfect form. Even in the matches against lower-ranked opponents she loses sets and wins only due to experience. In the previous week Stephens fought against Sabalenka and wasn't looking hopeless, she is in a good form and she is able to narrow the gap on head-to-head matches.
Our prediction - Stephens to win
Opponents played against each other four times. All of those matches ended in two sets. In our opinion, streak will live on, so we offer to place a bet on total over.
