LiontipsLauren Davis vs Astra Sharma. Prediction and bets on the WTA Charleston match
Command Analysis
Current form
Davis started the home tournament in Charleston with a confident victory over Udvardy (6-1, 6-4). The American tennis player completely outplayed her opponent on the return in that match, made four breaks, while she herself lost only one of her serves. It should be noted that Lauren is clearly in good playing shape now; in early November, we recall, she had the semi-finals of the tournament in Midland on her account.
Professional qualities
Lauren is more inclined to play long rallies with exchanges on the baseline. When she is in shape, she is hard to beat on the baseline. However, she has a good return, as was evident in her first round game against Udvardy, when the American won 47% of her points on return.
Current indicators in the tour
Davis only started this season in March, took a long time to get into shape, but clearly came into her own at the end of the season. In total, she has 15 wins and 16 losses since the beginning of the year.
Interesting facts for betting
- Davis has only played maximum sets in one of her last five matches.
- Two of the American tennis player previous five matches involved tie-breaks
Current form
Sharma had a good tournament in Midland in November, where she managed to get to the quarterfinals. She stopped Australian tennis player Alicia Parks (3-6, 1-6). In Charleston, Astra opponent at the start was Glushko, with whom she had no problems (6-3, 6-0). During the match, Sharma gave up her serve only once, while she herself made six breaks at once, one could say that she "destroyed" her opponent with her aggressive reception.
Professional qualities
Astra always tries to play sharply, attack, often aggressively and boldly receives the serve. When she is playing well, it is not so easy to stop her. On the other hand, if she fails to impose her tennis, Sharma often completely fails the matches.
Current indicators in the tour
The season certainly can't be called successful for Sharma - only 16 wins since the beginning of the year with 27 losses. In the world rankings, she is now only in 245th place, although she was in the top 100 in her career.

Both tennis players started confidently in Charleston and are in good shape.
