LiontipsAshleigh Barty vs Iga Swiatek. Predictions and Betting Tips for WTA Adelaide
Command Analysis
Ashleigh Barty played two contrasting matches at Adelaide tournament. In the second round she barely managed to beat Cori Gauff (4:6, 7:5, 6:1). Barty put up a weak performance at her serve in this match, her opponent had 15 break-points throughout the match.
It was obvious that after a long pause a World No. 1 player will need some time to gain momentum. But in the second round match against Kenin we saw a brilliant performance from Barty (6:3, 6:4). A flawless performance at the serve and one break in each of two sets brought a victory to the Australian player. Kenin failed to get a single break-point in a whole match.
Iga Swiatek put up a successful performance in the previous edition of Adelaide tournament and claimed the title. Polish player will surely try to repeat that success at the start of a new season.
In first rounds of the tournament Swiatek eliminated Daria Saville and Leylah Fernandez without any problems. But in the quarter-final match she lost one set to Victoria Azarenka (6:3, 2:6, 6:1). After first games of the match it seemed like Swiatek is about to get another easy victory, but something unexplainable happened in the second set. In the third set Swiatek left no chances to her opponent and took the victory.
