Sabalenka – Buzkova: forecast for the WTA Washington match
In Washington, Aryna Sabalenka and Marie Bouzkova will determine the second finalist on August 3. How will events unfold on the court today and what reliable bets to play? - the answer is in our forecast

Command Analysis

Aryna Sabalenka

Sabalenka returned to the tour after an injury and in the first match in Washington against Rakhimova she looked very unconvincing, made many mistakes in simple situations, made 14 double faults at once. Nevertheless, she managed to defeat Camilla with a score of 7-5, 4-6, 6-4. In the second match at the tournament against Azarenka, Arina clearly improved her reliability and defeated her compatriot with a score of 6-4, 6-4.

Marie Bouzkova

Bouzkova, like her upcoming opponent, also experienced problems at the start in Washington related to the change of surface. She managed to beat Kessler only in three sets (6-4, 4-6, 6-2). In the second round, Marie defeated Townsend in two tight sets (7-5, 7-6). The quarterfinal with Montgomery turned out to be the easiest for the Czech (6-3, 6-1). It is noticeable that Bouzkova is improving on local courts in all her game indicators and it is definitely not worth underestimating her in forecasts.

Bouzkova has a good first serve and the Czech clearly can't lose big today, but Arina hasn't reached her peak form yet.
