Command Analysis

Aryna Sabalenka

Current form
Sobolenko won the title in Madrid and made a confident start in Rome with a 6-2, 6-2 victory over Potapova. In that meeting, Arina was stronger than Anastasia in all game components, first of all, she worked more reliably on her serve than her opponent. She's definitely not going to stop there, as she needs to defend the points from last year's final. The Belarusian tennis player will not underestimate Sofia either, because it was here in the Italian capital in 2023 that she was defeated by her.
Professional qualities
Arina always plays in an attacking forceful manner, relying on herself and her punches, and not on the mistakes of her rivals. Sobolenko has a powerful first serve and a strong forehand in his arsenal, which is often not inferior to many men and allows him to complete attacks.

Sofia Kenin

Current form
After the transition to the ground, Kenin is not particularly stable. She had a final in Charleston, and in Madrid she holstered her racket in the third round after losing to Potapova. In the Italian capital, the American tennis player started from the second round and defeated Pavlyuchenkova (6-3, 6-0). It should be noted that at the last two starts in Rome, she sheathed the racket in the third round.
Professional qualities
Kenin is distinguished by her versatility, she can not only successfully practice on the back line with a minimum number of unforced errors, but also act as the first number from a position of strength. At the same time, if Sofia's game is not going well, then you can see complete failures in her.

2.25Tip and bets
You should not underestimate Kenin now, she has left the protracted recession behind, and she has shown solid results more than once this season. At the same time, Sofia can swim on the court at any moment after several mistakes, she is too unpredictable a tennis player. Sobolenko is more stable in this regard, she is in excellent shape now, she gave only four games to Potapova the day before in Rome. We think Arina will confidently deal with the unstable Sofia today.
