Iga Swiatek vs Paula Badosa. Predictions and Betting Tips for WTA Finals

After two rounds of the WTA Finals at Guadalajara Iga Swiatek became one of the main disappointments of the tournament. Polish player suffered two defeats and lost any chance to advance into the playoffs.

In the first match Swiatek suffered a straight-set defeat to Maria Sakkari (2:6, 4:6). In the second round match against Sabalenka Polish player got off to a great start, but then cracked under Sabalenka's pressure (6:2, 2:6, 5:7). We can't say that Swiatek played badly in the match against Belarusian player, she just failed to win the decisive game at her serve in the decisive set. 

Paula Badosa didn't play a single official match for almost a month and before the start of Guadalajara tournament her condition was put under question. In mid-October Spanish player won a title of Indian Wells tournament and calmly prepared for her maiden WTA Finals tournament. As we see, it was a successful strategy for the World No. 10 player.

After two rounds Badosa clinched a play-off berth. She recorded both of her victories in the group without losing a single set. In the first match she trashed Aryna Sabalenka (6:4, 6:0). In the second round Badosa recorded a narrow victory over Maria Sakkari (7:6, 6:4). Both of those victories were recorded due to a great performance at the baseline. Spaniard was not taking too much risk, played very carefully, while Sakkari and Sabalenka played more aggressively and made way too many mistakes.
