Tip and bets
Anett Kontaveit is considered a clear favourite of this match and it is not a surprise. Estonian player performed successfully at recent tournaments, she won the recent head-to-head match against the Czech player. We can't say that Kontaveit won the match at Cleveland with ease, because she had to play three sets. That's why we are not expecting a blowout at Moscow.
Our prediction - Siniakova to win with a handicap of (+5) games
Players had four head-to-head matches. Only in the first one, which was played in 2016, total was lower than 20 games. In four most recent head-to-head matches Kontaveit and Siniakova played more than 20 games, so we offer to place a bet on total over.
Our second bet is on total over 20 games
