Command Analysis

Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova

Back in March, Pavlyuchenkova made it to the 1/8 finals of the hard court tournament in Indian Wells. Incidentally, she beat her current opponent, Haddad Maia, in the draw. However, the Russian tennis player's results worsened noticeably and she never managed to get past more than one round. After returning to hard court, Anastasia played in tournaments in Washington and Toronto. There was no breakthrough, only one hard-fought victory in Washington over Krueger (6-3, 4-6, 6-4).

Beatriz Haddad Maia

Haddad Maia is also not having the most successful season and has already left the top 20. Last week, Beatriz had one winning match against Bouzkova (5-7, 6-2, 7-6), but in the second round, due to injury, she was forced to withdraw after two games with Boulter. It should be noted that the Brazilian tennis player has played in Cincinnati three times in her career and only once, back in 2017, managed to overcome the first round barrier.

2.21Tip and bets
Haddad Maia was unable to finish her match against Boulter last week due to injury. It is far from certain that Beatrice is ready to play her best today in Cincinnati, especially since she has an inconvenient opponent at the start. Pavlyuchenkova has beaten the Brazilian three times in her career and is quite capable of upsetting her again.
Our prediction is Pavlyuchenkova's victory with odds of 1.74

In two of the three head-to-head encounters, the tennis players played three sets. Both often have long matches and it is unlikely that the game will end quickly today.
