Errani/Paolini vs. Andreeva/Schneider: Olympic Match Prediction
In Paris on August 4, Sara Errani and Jasmine Paolini will compete for the Olympic gold medals in doubles with the Russian duo Mirra Andreeva and Diana Schneider. How will the final end and what reliable bets to choose? – the answer is in our expert’s forecast

Command Analysis

Sara Errani

Experienced Errani has only started to play actively in pairs with Paolini since this season. They have formed a very good duo, which has won the titles of Linz and Rome, as well as the final of Roland Garros. At the Olympics, the Italians experienced the greatest difficulties in the second round in the confrontation with the pair Garcia/Parri, where they managed to snatch victory only in a super-tie (5-7, 6-3, 10-8). In the semi-finals, Errani and Paolini had the well-played Czechs Muchova and Noskova as opponents, whom they managed to beat with more than confidence (6-3, 6-2).

Mirra Andreeva

The Russian duo Mirra Andreeva and Diana Schneider became the main discovery of the Olympic women's doubles tournament. The young tennis players were knocked out in the singles early on, but together they sensationally made it to the final and will be fighting for gold medals today. They had not played together before Paris, but they regularly played in doubles throughout the season, so they have some skills. The Russians made their biggest sensation in the quarterfinals, when they beat the top Czech duo Krejciokva/Siniakova. In the semifinals, Mirra and Diana left no chance for the Spanish Buksa/Sorribes Tormo (6-1, 6-2).

2.24Tip and bets
With their victory over Krejcikova/Siniakova, the Russian pair made it clear that it is no coincidence that they are achieving success in Paris. Andreeva and Schneider have the advantage on serve, both are in excellent shape, and are aggressive on return, which was noticeable in their game against the Spanish pair Buksa/Sorribes Tormo in the semifinals. Errani/Paolini undoubtedly have experience on their side, but if Mirra and Diana play in the same bold attacking style as they did against the Spanish, they could well win Olympic gold medals today.
