Niemeier will perform at Saint Petersburg for the first time in her career. Niemeier started her path from qualification and successfully advanced past three rounds. She managed to beat Bondar, Vikhlyantseva and Andreeva in qualifying matches, losing only one set in the process.
Petra Kvitova is a regular guest here, at Saint Petersburg. She achieved success in that tournament on 2018, winning the title. In two next editions of that competition she was eliminated in the quarter-finals.
In the current season it will be very difficult for Kvitova to even get to the QF, because she performed poorly at Australian tournaments on January. She recorded only one victory and suffered three defeats. In the first round of Australian Open Kvitova was eliminated by Cirstea (2:6, 2:6).

We are not expecting an easy victory from Niemeier. Even in a poor form, Kvitova should be able to put up a fight. We offer to bet on total over.
Our second bet is on total over 20.5 games
