LiontipsStephens vs. Gadecki. Prediction and bets on the WTA match Guadalajara
Command Analysis
Current form
Stephens last played an official match in late August, when she took part in the US Open, where she failed to get past the first round, losing to Clara Burel. The American has eight wins and 11 losses on open hard courts this season.
Professional qualities
Age is certainly taking its toll: Stephens' fast and powerful forehand, which was once her main weapon, is no longer as effective. The loss of mobility and problems with her backhand significantly limit the American's capabilities on the tennis court. Even on hard courts, where Sloane has traditionally felt more confident, it is increasingly difficult for her to achieve high results.
Current indicators in the tour
Stephens is a former world No. 3, but is currently ranked No. 63 in the world. Sloane has one trophy under her belt this season, winning the clay court tournament in Rouen. It was her eighth WTA title.
Interesting facts for betting
Stevens has lost 10 of her last 12 games.
Current form
Gadecki made it to the main draw of the tournament in Guadalajara through the qualification. In the selection, Olivia first beat Timea Babos in two sets, and then also in two sets, she won against Maia Joynt. On open hard courts this season, the Australian has 16 wins and ten losses.
Professional qualities
Gadecki is a powerful player who relies on her serve and forehand. However, unlike the top players, her game lacks variety. She has a weak defense and an inconsistent backhand, which limits her ability to play in long rallies.
Current indicators in the tour
Gadecki is currently ranked 152 in the world. This season, the Australian representative has not won a single title, but she has played in one final - she managed to reach the decisive match at the tournament in Landsville.
Interesting facts for betting
Gadecki has won nine of her last 12 matches on outdoor hard courts.
