LiontipsAnna Karolina Schmiedlova vs. Donna Vekic. Olympic Match Prediction and Bets
Command Analysis
Schmiedlova was the main discovery of the Olympic tournament. The Slovak tennis player is only ranked 67th in the world, but this did not prevent her from reaching the semi-finals in Paris. In all four matches at the tournament, Anna Karolina was an underdog for bookmakers, but managed to defeat Boulter, Haddad Maia, Paolini and Krejcikova in turn. Schmiedlova lost her only game against Paolini (7-5, 3-6, 7-5).
Vekic has gained impressive form in the summer, made it to the semi-finals of Wimbledon, and now in Paris we see her one step away from an Olympic medal. Such success by Donna did not come as a big surprise. She passed three rounds without giving up sets, beating Bronzetti, Andreescu and Gauff. The real test of strength for the Croatian was in the quarter-finals with Kostyuk. Both opponents made many mistakes, but fought to the end. In the end, Vekic won in the decisive tie-break (6-4, 2-6, 7-6).

Both tennis players made it to the Olympic semifinals in a largely unexpected way. Today, we think Vekic has a better chance of winning, even though she played a long late match the day before. Donna is in good physical shape, which was already evident at Wimbledon. The Croatian is capable of offering Schmiedlova a very high tempo when exchanging blows, thus forcing her to make mistakes.
Our prediction is a victory for Vekic with a coefficient of 1.53 in the Fonbet bookmaker
