Command Analysis

Louisa Chirico

Chirico returned to hard last week in Washington. At that competition, the American stumbled at the start of the qualification, losing to Kessler (2-6, 6-3, 6-7). In Toronto, Louise managed to overcome two qualifying rounds, and in each match she was an underdog for the bookmakers. She managed to beat Rodionova in two sets (7-5, 6-2). Next was a match against the British Dart, who won the first set, the second set in the tie-break went to Chirico, after which her opponent withdrew from the game.

Anna Kalinskaya

Kalinskaya had a poor clay court season, but on grass she demonstrated that it was clearly too early to write her off. Anna can put the final in Berlin and reaching the 1/8 finals of Wimbledon to her credit, where she was unable to finish the match against Rybakina due to an injury. Today, the Russian tennis player will play her first match after a fairly long break, plus there is a change of surface. The 17th racket of the world has never played on the courts in Toronto in her career.

4.10Tip and bets
Kalinskaya is having the most successful season of her career, debuted in the top 20 and is undoubtedly rightfully the favorite today. However, Anna has not had any game practice since Wimbledon, has never played in Toronto and it is far from certain that she will be able to immediately adapt to local conditions. Moreover, her opponent played well in the qualification, which can help her maintain a positive handicap in games.
Our prediction is a victory for Chirico with a handicap of (+5.5) games for a coefficient of 1.70 in the Fonbet bookmaker
Bet on total
We don't expect the upcoming meeting to end quickly. We think Kalinskaya will need time to adapt to the surface, which her hot opponent can take advantage of.

Bet on the first set
In three of Kalinskaya's last five matches, more than nine games were played in the opening set, which is what we expect this time too.
