LiontipsBelinda Bencic vs Mariam Bolkvadze. Prediction and bets on the WTA match Angers
Command Analysis
Current form
Bencic only returned to the tour at the end of October after giving birth to her child and is eager to try her hand at less prestigious tournaments, to warm up, to test herself before the start of the new season. In Angers, Belinda started with a victory over Romanian Tig (6-4, 6-1). There were some hints of a fight in that match only in the first set.
Professional qualities
Belinda is famous for her ability to offer her opponents a high tempo when exchanging blows. Of course, she is far from her optimal form now, the speeds are not the same, but nevertheless, at the level of weak opponents, she looks quite convincing. Plus, her powerful first serve has not disappeared anywhere.

Bencic has only played six matches, winning five. In the world rankings, she is only at 907th place.

Bolkvadze played her last tournaments at a high level and approached the start in Angers in good shape.

In Angers, Mariam made quite a sensation in the first round, beating Anastasia Zakharova (7-5, 6-3).

Throughout her career, Bolkvadze has played almost exclusively on fast surfaces. The tennis player relies on a powerful serve and fast rallies in her game.
