LiontipsAnastasia Gasanova vs Ana Konjuh. Predictions and Betting Tips for WTA Nur-Sultan
Command Analysis
Anastasia Gasanova had a great start of the current season. In January she reached the round of 16 at Abu Dhabi tournament. In March she reached the quarter-final of home tournament at Saint-Petersburg. In that competition Gasanova, who was at the peak of her form, managed to beat her today opponent, Ana Konjuh (6:4, 6:3). Young Russian player failed to extend that success though. Gasanova is in a long slump now.
Gasanova got an easy draw in the first round of Nur-Sultan tournament. Belarusian player Yuliya Hatouka was not ready to compete in the main draw of such a prestigious tournament (6:1, 6:1). As a reminder, before that Gasanova was heavily beaten in the qualification for the Luxembourg tournament by Jana Fett (1:6, 0:6).
In 2021 Ana Konjuh is coming back on tour after an injury and she is currently at 77th position in the WTA rankings. We should remind that Croatian player was once at the 20th position.
One week ago Konjuh played at Ostrava, where she advanced into the main draw through qualification and managed to put up a fight against Pavlyuchenkova in the first set of the first round match (6:7, 1:6). At Nur-Sultan Konjuh played against Urszula Radwanska. She needed some time for adaptation to the local court, but in the second set she left no chance to the Polish player (7:6, 6:1).
