Command Analysis
Taylor Townsend
USATownsend has been in the shadows for a long time, unable to demonstrate anything on clay and grass. However, after switching to her more specialized hard, the American has noticeably improved. Last week she had the second round in Washington, now we see her in the third round in Toronto, although in some ways she was lucky, considering that in the qualifying final she lost to Erika Andreeva, but made it to the main draw as a lucky loser. In the main draw, Taylor first beat Yastremska by withdrawal, and then left Stakusic with no chance (6-0, 6-2).
Jelena Ostapenko
LatviaOstapenko, like her upcoming opponent, has achieved her greatest success on hard, where she has 14 wins in 20 matches since the beginning of the year. In Toronto, Elena started with a match against Badosa in the second round. The Spaniard was ahead in that match, but she could not hold on to the advantage, losing the second set in a tie-break, and then the match (6-3, 6-7, 2-6).

2.21Tip and bets
Townsend was lucky in Toronto in many ways. The American did not qualify, and after her opponent withdrew, she made it to the second round of the main draw, where she had Stakusic, who was noticeably inferior in class, as an opponent. Ostapenko, on a high, managed to "pull out" a difficult match with Badosa, and Elena is clearly capable of beating the straightforward Taylor on such an emotional high.
Our prediction is Ostapenko's victory with a handicap of (-3) games at odds of 1.89
Bet on total
In four of her last five victories, Ostapenko has beaten her opponents in two sets. The Latvian tennis player has already gained some practice on hard courts, and if she starts playing well right away, Taylor will have little chance of putting up a decent fight.
The second bet is total under 22 games for 1.93
Bet on the first set
Townsend played four matches in Toronto and in three of them more than nine games were not played in the first set. Accordingly, we recommend another option for betting.
Forecast - total under 9.5 games in the first set with odds of 1.78
