Command Analysis
Current form
After winning the title in Madrid, Sobolenko continued her successful performances in Rome. Arina started with a confident victory over Potapova (6-2, 6-2), after which she had a difficult match against Kenin (3-6, 6-3, 6-3). It took Sobolenko a while to find arguments against the American's powerful game, but as the match progressed, she began to play more aggressively, forcing her opponent to make mistakes.

Arina plays aggressive attacking tennis, but it is worth noting that now she no longer strives at all costs to finish each draw with a straight shot. Sobolenko has noticeably improved the reliability of her game on the back line, and she doesn't make mistakes as often on serve as she could have seen before. At the same time, her powerful forehand is still a threat to any opponent.

2.24Tip and bets
In Madrid, Kostyuk put up serious resistance to Sobolenko. The first racket of the world won then only on two tie-breaks. Against the background of that match, the bookmakers noticeably changed the line, now Arina is not such a clear favorite. However, we do not think that Marta, given her instability, is ready to hold another match at the same level. Sobolenko is able to break through Kostyuk's defense due to her serve and powerful forehand. We believe that the favorite will not experience any problems this time.
