LiontipsKarolina Pliskova vs Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova. Predictions and Betting Tips for WTA US Open
Command Analysis
Karolina Pliskova approached the start of US Open after a successful performance in two consecutive tournaments. She reached the final at Montreal and the semi-final at Cincinnati. Seems like Czech player gained wonderful form for the last Grand Slam tournament of the season.
So far Pliskova had only one difficult match, in the second round against Anisimova, but she managed to record a victory (7:5, 6:7, 7:6). Matches against McNally (6:4, 6:3) and Tomljanovic (6:3, 6:2) were easy for the Czech player. We should note that in the most recent match against Tomljanovic World No. 4 player didn't lose a single game at her serve.
Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova didn't get enough match practice before the start of New York tournament. Due to problems with visa she missed the tournament in Cincinnati. Nonetheless, Russian player performed well in first three matches of US Open.
Her path at US Open is pretty similar to Pliskova's path. Just like the Czech player, Russia representative played the most difficult match in the second round. She needed three sets to record a victory over Schmiedlova (6:2, 5:7, 6:2). In two other matches Pavlyuchenkova beat Riske (6:4, 6:2) and Gracheva (6:1, 6:4) without any problems.
