LiontipsSwiatek vs. Krejcikova. Prediction and bets on the match of the WTA Finals
Command Analysis
Current form
Swiatek, who lost to Jessica Pegula in the quarterfinals of the US Open, has not played since, including withdrawing from the tournament in Wuhan. Amid recent changes in her team, questions are being raised about her readiness for the Finals. Recall that Iga recently began working with Belgian coach Wim Fissette.
Professional qualities
Šwiętek controls the pace of the game with confidence, possessing excellent stamina and excellent defensive skills. She easily switches to attack when her opponents reduce their aggression, which allows her to use powerful and dense shots from both sides, despite the technical nuances of the forehand and backhand.
Current indicators in the tour
Świętek ends the year with a bright track record - 59 wins, 8 losses and five trophies, including triumph at Roland Garros. In the world rankings, the Polish representative currently occupies the second line.
Interesting facts for betting
Swiatek last six matches have been played in straight sets.
Current form
Krejcikova hasn't been in top form lately. After reaching the quarterfinals at the Olympics, she missed the North American Masters, and returned to blue courts only at the US Open, where she was defeated by Elena Ruze in the second round. Then came a series of failures in the Asian series - a defeat to Jacqueline Christian at the start of the tournament in Beijing, a loss to Haley Baptiste in Wuhan, and a withdrawal from the match against Mirra Andreeva in Ningbo.
Professional qualities
Krejcikova displays a versatile attacking style that has won her titles at Roland Garros and Wimbledon. Her arsenal includes a stable serve, quality net play due to her doubles experience, flat shots and an active return, making her an awkward opponent.
Current indicators in the tour
Krejcikova got into the Finals thanks to a special rule - her victory at Wimbledon and a place in the top 20 of the championship race guaranteed her participation. Barobara has not played on indoor courts yet this season. But she has the potential to surprise on this surface - in 2022, she showed excellent indoor play, winning tournaments in Tallinn and Ostrava.
Interesting facts for betting
Krejcikova has won only two victories in her last seven fights.
