LiontipsOsaka - Mertens: betting tip (cf 1.82) and bets on the WTA match Bad Homburg
Command Analysis
Osaka got into good shape during the clay segment, when she made the 1/8 finals in Madrid, Rome and at Roland Garros. Judging by the first round match in Bad Homburg, Naomi did not lose her form, she started confidently on the grass. She had no problems in the duel with Freh (6-4, 6-1). Thus, she coped with the minimum task, defended her points on the local courts for reaching the 1/8 finals last year.
Mertens has already won two tournaments on grass, where she has not achieved much success. In 'S-Hertogenbosch and Berlin, the representative of Belgium overcame one round each and sheathed her racket. At the start in Bad Homburg, Elise had a difficult opponent, Alexandra Hala. Contrary to expectations, there were no major difficulties with her (6-3, 6-3). It should be noted that thanks to this victory, Mertens has already improved her last year's result on local courts when she sheathed her racket at the end of the first round.

Mertens is not stable, and she has never won more than one round on grass. We expect Osaka to play more reliably on her serve, which will bring her victory.
