LiontipsPolina Kudermetova - Sonai Kartal: betting tip and bets on the WTA Indian Wells match
Command Analysis
Current form
Polina Kudermetova is competing in Indian Wells for the first time in her career and immediately managed to make it to the third round, which can be considered a great success for the 60th racket of the world. At the start, the Russian tennis player confidently beat Claire Liu in two sets (6-4, 6-2). This was followed by a stubborn confrontation with compatriot Alexandrova, who was also defeated in two games (7-5, 6-2).
Professional qualities
Polina tries to play number one, relies on her tight forehand and backhand, and strives to increase the tempo, although she is not always ready to maintain it herself. Of the weak points, we note that Kudermetova does not go forward to the net, she spends almost the entire match purely on the back line.
Current indicators in the tour
The Russian tennis player is currently ranked 60th, but she will definitely rise higher after Indian Wells. Since the beginning of the year, she has played 19 matches in the tour, in which she scored 13 victories. Polina's best result at the moment is the final in Brisbane.
Interesting facts for betting
- In the last 11 matches, Kudermetova has not exchanged won sets with her rivals.
- In the three previous matches involving Polina, more than nine games were played in the first set.
Current form
Kartal did not have a single victory in the main draw before the start in Indian Wells. Moreover, Sonai did not qualify on the local courts, but as a lucky loser she reached the main draw and won two victories – over Lepchenko (7-6, 6-2) and Haddad Maya (6-2, 6-1). Thus, for the first time in her career, Sonai made it to the third round at Indian Wells.
Professional qualities
The British tennis player relies in her game on reliable actions on the back line, where it is not so easy to break through it. Kartal knows how to wait for her opponents to make mistakes, but she doesn't have a strong serve in her arsenal, which is a serious problem.
Current indicators in the tour
Kartal's season statistics are not the most impressive: six wins and four losses. She is ranked 83rd in the world ranking.
Interesting facts for betting
- In five of the previous six matches involving Kartal, the minimum number of sets was played.
- No more than nine games were played in the second set in four of the last five Kartal matches.
