Tip and bets
Paula Badosa is having problems at the start of a new season. Spanish player had no chance in the match against Azarenka, losing in straight sets, and also was close to losing a set to Ostapenko. Tomljanovic is playing at home, so she won't have problems with motivation, plus she gained form in three matches since the start of the year. We believe that Australian player will hold on to a plus handicap.
Our prediction - Tomljanovic to win with a handicap of (+5) games
Both players are out of form and are making many mistakes, which leads to long matches and tiebreaks. We are expecting at least 20 games to be played in this match.
Our second bet is on total over 20 games
