Collins vs Pavlyuchenkova: prediction for the Billie Jean King Cup match

At the group stage Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova played two matches for her team against Canada and France and brought victories to her team. Though both of her victories were not so confident.

At the start Pavlyuchenkova played against a less experienced Canadian player, Marino. Despite a huge advantage on class Pavlyuchenkova had to play three sets against her opponent, but we should say that Anastasia put up a great performance in the third set (6:4, 4:6, 6:2). After that she had to play another long match, this time against a hard-working French player, Alize Cornet. Russian player managed to come back into the game after a loss in the first set and eventually recorded a victory (5:7, 6:4, 6:2). We can't say that Pavlyuchenkova's performance is faultless, so she is hardly a favourite in the match against Collins.
