Svitolina made a great transition to the ground, won 10 of 11 matches on this surface, won the title in Rouen and played in the semi-finals of Madrid. Obviously, Elina is at the peak of her form at the moment. In Rome, however, she had a difficult start – in two hard sets she broke the resistance of Busas Maneiro (6-4, 7-6).

Hailey Baptiste
USACurrent form
Baptiste is hosting one of the best tournaments of the season and is clearly in great shape right now. Haley made it through two qualifying rounds in Rome, and defeated Blinkova (7-6, 6-4) and Samsonova (6-3, 2-6, 6-4) in the main draw. For the first time in her career, an American woman made it to the third round in Rome.
Professional qualities
The American tennis player has a rather limited technical arsenal, relies in her game mainly on a strong serve and a powerful forehand. She doesn't have much stability on the back line, and Hayley's technique is also her strongest point.

Baptist is in the top 100 of the world ranking, being in the 90th position. Obviously, after Rome, she will noticeably improve her position. Since the beginning of the year, the American has played 25 matches in the tour, in which she won 16 victories.

2.25Tip and bets
We think the American woman's exploits in Rome will end today. In previous rounds, Baptiste had opponents who played more in an attacking manner, not too diverse in terms of tactics. This time you will have to play against Svitolina, who cannot be defeated on clay only due to a strong serve and a powerful forehand. Moreover, Elina herself is currently at the peak of her form.
Our betting tip is that Svitolina will win with a handicap of (-5) games with a coefficient of 1.85
Bet on the total
Svitolina has scored her last 12 tour wins with an accurate score of 2-0 in sets. Elina surpasses Baptiste in almost all game components, who also has four difficult fights under her belt in Rome. We do not expect that the upcoming meeting will take too long.
The second bet is a total of less than 20 games for 1.91
Bet on the first set
In only one of the last six matches involving Svitolina, more than nine games were played in the first set. We expect in the betting tip that Elina will confidently lead the starting segment today and immediately identify her indisputable advantage.
The betting tip is a total of less than 9.5 games in the first set with a coefficient of 1.61
