Blinkova – Stearns: forecast for the WTA Toronto match
Anna Blinkova has lost her last four matches. Will she be able to break her losing streak on August 7 in Toronto in the first round match against Peyton Stearns? – the answer is in our forecast

Command Analysis

Anna Blinkova

Blinkova's season is not going well. Since the beginning of the year, Anna has played 31 matches on tour and managed to win only 11. She is approaching the start in Toronto on a series of four defeats in a row. After Wimbledon, the Russian tried her hand at clay in Palermo and Iasi, but without success. Today, Blinkova will play her first match on hard, perhaps the change of surface will help her break her losing streak.

Peyton Stearns

Stearns is having a more successful season than her upcoming opponent, but overall she hasn’t achieved much – 16 wins and 17 losses since the beginning of the year. Last week, Payton managed to break her losing streak of three. In Washington, she beat the not-so-famous Ngouna in the first round (6-3, 7-6), after which she lost to Raducan (6-7, 2-6).

2.27Tip and bets
Given her recent numerous failures, bookmakers have no faith in Blinkova at all and are treating her as a clear underdog. At the same time, it is impossible to say for sure that Stearns is currently at her peak form – only one win in five previous matches on the tour. We believe that Anna will not lose big today, at the very least.
