LiontipsPaula Badosa - Sofia Kenin. Forecast and bets for the WTA Washington match
Command Analysis
Badosa took a long time to recover from her injury and was unable to show her best on the court. However, Paula gradually got going and played her last tournaments at a high level. In Rome, the Spaniard reached the 1/8 finals, made it to the third round at Roland Garros, and made it to the fourth round at Wimbledon. Badosa will play in Washington for the first time in her career.
Kenin is having a frankly weak season, winning only 7 out of 24 matches on tour. For several years now, the former fourth racket of the world has been trying to return to her previous level, but nothing has worked. Of the positive results in Sofia's performance, only the third round of the clay tournament in Rome and the third round of Roland Garros can be noted. On open hard courts, the American has only one victory and eight losses in her statistics since the beginning of the year.

This is the scenario that has played out in the Spanish tennis player's four previous matches
2.25Tip and bets
Kenin had some flashes of play only on clay. On hard courts, Sofia has won only one match since the beginning of the year. Badosa has clearly gained the necessary form on grass and certainly does not plan to stop there, because she needs to make up for what she has lost in recent times. At the moment, Paula is stronger than the American in all respects and is capable of overcoming the first round barrier in Washington.
Our prediction is Badosa's victory with a handicap of (-3.5) games for a coefficient of 1.70 in the BC Liga Stavok
Bet on total
In three of her last four lost matches, Kenin has not won a set. Given the American's far from optimal playing form, we don't expect the upcoming encounter to be too close.
The second bet is total under 22 games for 1.75 on the Zenit BC line
Bet on the first set
Only one of Kenin's previous five matches saw more than nine games played in the first set. We believe that today the favorite will immediately show its advantage.
Forecast - total games in the first set under 9.5 with odds of 1.69
