LiontipsYulia Putintseva - Marta Kostyuk. Forecast and bets on the Olympic match
Command Analysis
Putintseva has gained impressive momentum during the season and is currently ranked 30th in the world. The representative of Kazakhstan demonstrated her best result on grass in Birmingham, where she won the title. On clay, Yulia has nine wins and only four losses since the beginning of the year, with a quarterfinal in Madrid. The tennis player has not played anywhere on tour since Wimbledon.
Kostyuk made her mark in the final in Stuttgart back in April, then she slowed down noticeably and had no success for a long time. Only at Wimbledon did she manage to demonstrate a more or less acceptable result, making it to the third round. On clay, Marta won five matches and lost four during the season. Like her upcoming opponent, she has not appeared on the court in any official matches since Wimbledon.

Since February, Putintseva has played in nine tournaments on different surfaces and has always made it through at least one round. On clay, Yulia has been performing significantly better than Kostyuk, who has actually only had one successful tournament in Stuttgart. We believe that at the moment, the representative of Kazakhstan is superior to Marta in all game parameters and is capable of winning today.
Our prediction is Putintseva's victory with odds of 1.70 in BC Pari
