Command Analysis
Marie Bouzkova
Czech RepublicMarie Bouzkova played her most recent successful tournament in June. In Birmingham Czech player reached the quarter-final on the grass. After that she won only one match in six tournaments.
A talented Czech player didn't deserve such a long string of defeats. We can't say that she is looking hopeless in every match. She fights until the end, but she is just unfortunate. In the previous week at Chicago Bouzkova was beaten in the first round by Peterson on two tiebreaks (6:7, 6:7).
Naomi Osaka
JapanNaomi Osaka is also not so successful recently. Japanese player will need to defend points for the previous New York tournament, where she won a title. But looking at her recent tournaments, we can't give a positive prediction for Osaka's performance.
After the Roland Garros Osaka played only two tournaments. At the home Olympics in Tokyo she was beaten in the round of 16 by Vondrousova (1:6, 4:6). In Cincinnati she recorded a difficult victory over Gauff (4:6, 6:3, 6:4). But in the next match she was sensationally beaten by Teichmann (6:3, 3:6, 3:6).

Tip and bets
Both players are approaching the US Open after a number of failures. Osaka has an advantage on class and she already played in New York and won the previous edition of that tournament. Bouzkovahad way too many defeats recently, but she rarely leaves the court without a fight. In our opinion, Osaka is overrated by the bookmakers, she will need some time to find her game.
Our prediction - Bouzkova to win with a handicap of (+6.5) games
We are not expecting an overwhelming victory from Osaka in an upcoming match. In two most recent matches Japanese player had to play three sets against lower ranked opponents. We offer a bet on total over.
Our second bet is on total over 18 games
