2.25Tip and bets
With not the most stable game, largely due to mistakes by Stephens, the French tennis player made it to the second round. It is unlikely that Azarenka will allow herself to play as weakly in the decisive moments as Sloane did. Victoria clearly improved her game during the first round match, Clara will not be able to present her with any difficulties or surprises.
