LiontipsAnastasia Potapova vs. Clara Burel. Prediction and bets on the WTA match Cincinnati
Command Analysis
Potapova is currently experiencing a significant decline. After the Birmingham semi-final, Anastasia was unable to win a single match on the tour. The transition to hard did not help her, as in Washington she lost to Townsend at the start (2-6, 2-6), and in Toronto she failed to cope with Frech in the first round (6-4, 3-6, 0-6). In Cincinnati a year ago, the Russian tennis player made it to the second round, which is her best result on local courts.
Burel couldn't show anything on grass - only one win in five matches played. Clara didn't shine at the home Olympics in Paris either. In the first round, she beat Siniakova (7-6, 6-4), after which she couldn't cope with Kostyuk (6-7, 2-6). Today, the Frenchwoman will play her first match on hard, moreover, in Cincinnati she will make her debut, as she has never played in these competitions before.

3.55Tip and bets
Potapova currently has a series of five defeats in a row. Burel has also not had the best time in recent tournaments, and has not played on hard courts yet. In their only personal meeting a year ago, the Russian tennis player won in three sets. We believe that today in this pair we will not quickly find out the name of the winner and the optimal bet will be total over.
Our prediction is total over 21 games with odds of 1.85
Bet on the outcome
Potapova is given the status of favorite by bookmakers, but her game form raises many questions. We think that if Anastasia wins, it will hardly be with a crushing score.
The second bet is Burel's victory with a handicap of (+3) games for 1.75
Bet on the first set
In the two previous matches involving Burel, the most serious struggle unfolded in the first set, where tie-breaks were played. We expect in the forecast that this time there will be a tight battle for the initiative at the start.
Forecast - total games in the first set over 9.5 with odds of 2.05
