Sara Errani - Naomi Osaka: betting tip for the WTA Rome match
Sara Errani and Naomi Osaka have played against each other twice in their careers, and on two occasions the Italian lost without a chance. The next meeting between the tennis players will be held on May 7 as part of the first round of the tournament in Rome. How will events develop on the court today and which reliable bets should I choose? - the answer is in our betting tip
Command Analysis
Sara Errani
ItalyCurrent form
Errani hasn't been able to do anything on the tour since the beginning of the year, and he hasn't won a single WTA tournament maindraw. Even switching to a specialized soil did not help. She won only one qualifying match in Stuttgart, and lost to Joint in the first qualifying round in Madrid (4-6, 6-2, 2-6). Ahead is the start in Rome, where after the 2014 final, Sarah had only one victory in the main draw.
Professional qualities
Errani does not have solid anthropometric data, does not have a powerful serve in his arsenal and relies entirely on reliable actions on the back line in his game. It's not so easy to break through her defenses, but not in cases where there are powerful punches in the asset.
Current indicators in the tour
Errani's best years are long in the past, and now we are facing the 177th racket of the world. Since the beginning of the year, she has played nine matches on the tour, in which she has won only two.
Interesting facts for betting
- Errani has played three sets in three of her last four matches.
- Errani lost and did not win a single game against Osaka in two personal meetings.
Naomi Osaka
JapanCurrent form
Osaka has never learned how to play on clay throughout her career. She couldn't show anything in Madrid, losing at the start to Bronzetti (4-6, 6-2, 4-6). To get at least some gaming practice, Naomi showed up last week at a not very prestigious tournament in Saint-Malo, where she won the title. She has Rome ahead of her, where she needs to defend points for reaching the 1/8 finals last year.
Professional qualities
Naomi is a versatile tennis player with a rich arsenal of shots. She shoots most clearly from the forehand, plus, she scores a lot of easy points on the first serve, which even on clay carries a decent threat.
Current indicators in the tour
Osaka has been playing with varying success throughout the season, winning 14 out of 20 matches. The best results of the Japanese tennis player are the Auckland finals, the 1/8 finals in Miami and the title in Saint-Malo.
Interesting facts for betting
- In three of the last five matches, Osaka has not exchanged sets with her rivals.
- In three consecutive matches involving Osaka, more than nine games were played in the second game.

2.21Tip and bets
We do not think that any intrigue should be expected in this match. Osaka held a successful tournament in Saint-Malo on clay last week, got the necessary game practice, due to powerful strokes and solid serve, she is able to beat Errani without problems even on clay.
Our prediction is that Osaka will win with a handicap of (-5.5) games with a coefficient of 1.62

In two head-to-head matches, Osaka gave Errani no chance, beating her with an accurate score of 2:0 in sets. The Italian did not score more than four games in personal meetings. It is unlikely that anything will change in Rome today.
The second bet is a total of less than 19 games for 1.80
Bet on the first set
In five consecutive matches with Osaka, no more than nine games were played in the first set. We expect Naomi to confidently identify her advantage today.
The betting tip is that the total number of games in the first set is less than 9.5 with a coefficient of 1.44
