LiontipsBarbora Krejcikova vs Paula Badosa. Predictions and Betting Tips for WTA Sydney
Command Analysis
Barbora Krejcikova managed to reach the final at her first tournament. But the World No. 4 player had a very difficult and ambigious tournament path at Sydney.
In two first matches Krejcikova easily beat Cristian (6:1, 7:5) and Garcia (6:0, 6:2). Start of the semi-final match against Kontaveit was not looking good for Krejcikova, Czech player lost the first set with a bagel. But after that she managed to comeback into the game. In the decisive set Krejcikova managed to record a narrow victory (0:6, 6:4, 7:6).
Since the start of the season Paula Badosa played two tournaments. Spaniard was unable to fight off Victoria Azarenka in the first round of Adelaide tournament (3:6, 2:6). But she managed to improve her result at Sydney, a World No. 9 player advanced into the final.
The quarter-final match against Belinda Bencic (7:6, 3:6, 6:3) was the most difficult one for Badosa. Spaniard beat all of her other opponents, Ostapenko, Tomljanovic and Kasatkina, in straight sets. The semi-final match against Kasatkina was very easy for Badosa, so she wasted not too much energy (6:2, 6:2).
