Command Analysis
Maria Sakkari
GreeceSakkari has been performing with varying success this season, but she remains in the top 10 of the world rankings, occupying the eighth line. Maria last played on tour at Wimbledon, where she managed to get to the third round, losing in two sets to Raducan (2-6, 3-6). On clay this year, the Greek tennis player won 7 out of 11 matches, demonstrated the best result in Charleston, where she managed to reach the semifinals.
Danka Kovinic
MontenegroKovinic has not played a single official match on tour in 2024. She last took to the court in August last year at the US Open, where she lost to Lauren Davis in the first round (2-6, 2-6). It is unlikely that Danka is ready to fully prove herself at the Olympic Games without match practice.

2.24Tip and bets
We do not expect any intrigue in the upcoming match. Kovinic has not entered the court in official matches for almost a year, without game practice it will be difficult for her to maintain the pace in the exchange of blows that Sakkari will offer. We are betting on a confident victory for the favorite in this pair.
Our prediction is a victory for Sakkari with a handicap of (-6.5) games for a coefficient of 1.71 in the bookmaker Winline

Without any game practice, it will clearly be difficult for Kovinic to score games on his serve. There is no hope for gifts from Sakkari either.

Bet on the first set
We expect that Maria will demonstrate her undeniable advantage right from the start and we will not see much of a fight in the first set.
