Command Analysis

Emma Raducanu

Current form
After an unsuccessful start to the season, Raducanu has played out and has made significant progress in recent tournaments. Emma has made the quarterfinals in Miami and reached the 1/8 finals in Rome the day before. There was also a second round in Madrid. Ahead of the British tennis player is the start in Strasbourg, where she has never played before.
Professional qualities
Emma has a rich technical arsenal, she knows how to tactically adapt to her rivals. The British woman can play number one, she can take a waiting position and calmly practice on the back line, forcing her rivals to make mistakes. However, Emma has not fully revealed her undoubted talent, and time is passing.

Daria Kasatkina

Current form
Kasatkina had a good start to the season, reaching the 1/8 finals of the Australian Open in Doha. However, in the future, the results clearly began to decline, in the following tournaments she did not overcome more than one round anywhere. In Rome, at the last tournament, Daria was defeated at the start by Marta Kostyuk (4-6, 2-6).
Professional qualities
Daria is famous for her defensive tennis, and hitting her on the back line is not an easy task for any opponent. She has a rich set of punches in her arsenal with unpleasant spins for her opponents. The weak point in the game is the serve.
Current indicators in the tour
At the moment, Kasatkina has 11 wins and the same number of defeats since the beginning of the year. She is only in 17th position in the world ranking, and if she fails to improve her results in the near future, she will fall outside the top 20.
Interesting facts for betting
- In five matches in a row, Kasatkina did not exchange won sets with her rivals.
- In two of Daria's previous five matches, tiebreakers were played.

3.60Tip and bets
Taking into account the latest results, bookmakers give a slight advantage to Radukan. Meanwhile, the British woman is not stable, it is far from certain that she will be able to show the same level of tennis in Strasbourg as in Rome, especially since the tournament is not so prestigious. Kasatkina needs game practice now, it is important for her to have several successful matches on the eve of Roland Garros. Daria knows how to beat Emma, as she leads in personal meetings with a score of 3-0. We think there may be a slight sensation in this pair.
Our betting tip is Kasatkina's victory with a coefficient of 2.04
Bet on the total
In all the personal meetings, the tennis players have never exchanged sets they won. Roland Garros is ahead, it's hardly worth expecting that Emma or Daria will try to achieve victory today at any cost. We think a lot will be decided in the first game.
The second bet is a total of less than 21 games in 1.92
Bet on the second set
In the three previous bouts involving Raducanu, no more than nine games were played in the second set. We expect a lot to be decided in the opening game today, but we won't see much fighting in the second set.
The betting tip is a total of less than 9.5 games in the second set with a coefficient of 1.67
