Command Analysis

Paula Badosa

Paula Badosa won four of five matches since the start of the season. But Spanish player had to miss Australian Open and Abu Dhabi tournament due to health issues.

Last week, Badosa played her first match after a long break. She faced Beatrice Haddad Maia. Paula put up a decent performance, but lost the match by a 6:7, 3:6 score. Seems like nothing concerns Badosa now and she is ready to take a step forward in Dubai tournament.

TipBadosa to win

2.26

Samsonova performed well at Abu Dhabi tournament. But overall, Liudmila is in a turbulent form and her performance in latest matches was simply unacceptable. Badosa is coming back after an injury and played well against high-flying Haddad Maia. We think that the Spanish player is underrated by the bookmakers.
