Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova - Katie Boulter: betting tip for the WTA Rome match

Current form

Pavlyuchenkova's last victory in the tour was back in early February in Abu Dhabi. Then we see a complete failure and a series of four defeats in a row. Switching to the ground did nothing to help Anastasia, as she lost to Sevastova at the start in Madrid, who did not really have any playing practice. In Rome, at the last six tournaments, the Russian tennis player did not make it past the second round.

Professional qualities

Pavlyuchenkova does not like to practice for a long time on the back line, she is always looking for ways to sharpen the game. With this approach, it is not always possible to play cleanly, with a minimum number of unforced errors. Plus, Anastasia often lacks speed when moving around the court.

Current indicators in the tour

Since the beginning of the year, Pavlyuchenkova has played only 11 matches on the tour, in which she won five, with four of them coming at the Australian Open. Anastasia currently occupies a modest 52nd place in the world ranking.

Interesting facts for betting

• Pavlyuchenkova's losing streak reached four matches.
• In the previous five matches, Anastasia played the minimum number of sets.

Current form

Boulter only played her first matches on clay in Madrid this season. In the Spanish capital, the British tennis player beat Sinyakova (4-6, 6-2, 6-1) in three sets at the start, after which she lost with a crushing score 1-6, 2-6 to Paolini. Katie has a start in Rome ahead of her, where she has only performed once, last year she lost in the opening match to Shramkova (4-6, 6-7).

Professional qualities

Katie relies most of all on a powerful serve and strong punches with both hands in her game. She feels uncomfortable on the back line in protracted draws, which could be seen from the last game in Madrid against Paolini, where she managed to take only three games.

Current indicators in the tour

Boulter has poor results for the season – six wins and the same number of losses. So far, we have managed to stay in the ranking at a high 40th position, but if we fail to improve the results, then there will inevitably be a drop in the ranking.

Interesting facts for betting

• In three of the previous five matches, Boulter played the minimum number of sets.
• In five consecutive matches with Katie's participation in the second game, more than nine games were not played.
