Andreeva – Pliskova: betting tip for the WTA Cincinnati match
Mirra Andreeva did not play in Toronto after the Olympics, but in her first match in Cincinnati against Navarro she demonstrated that the transition to hard is not a problem for her.

Command Analysis

Mirra Andreeva

Current form
In Paris, Andreeva won the Olympic silver medal in a pair with Diana Schneider, but, unlike her compatriot, she skipped the tournament in Toronto last week. As the opening match in Cincinnati showed, the decision was correct. Mirra beat Emma Navarro in two sets with a score of 6-2, 6-2. It should be noted that this was the 17-year-old tennis player's tenth victory over a top-20 representative.
Professional qualities
Mirra, at such a young age, demonstrates tennis that is mature beyond her years, and knows how to wait for the right moment. At the same time, she has a high speed of decision-making and a well-developed backhand, with which she breaks her opponents along the line.
Current indicators in the tour
During the season, the Russian tennis player had some slumps and failures, but she coped with them, of course, not without the help of her team. This year, Mirra won her debut WTA tournament title in Iasi on clay. On the same surface, she had the semi-finals of Roland Garros and the quarter-finals of Madrid. On hard, her best results so far are the quarter-finals in Brisbane and the 1/8 finals at the Australian Open. In the world ranking, Andreeva occupies 24th place.
Interesting facts for betting
On hard courts, Andreeva has won eight matches since the beginning of the year, seven of which were won with a precise score of 2-0 in sets.
In Andreeva's last eight matches, only once have more than nine games been played in the first set

Karolina Pliskova

Current form
Pliskova is not having the best time this hard court period of the season. In Washington, she lost to Wang Yafan at the start, and in Toronto, she hung up her racket in the second round after losing to Pegula. Carolina could have easily left Cincinnati, but she snatched victory from Tomova in two tie-breaks. It is clear that the Czech is not in top form right now.
Professional qualities
Pliskova has a powerful serve, which helps her succeed on fast surfaces. The other components, especially her return, leave much to be desired.
Current indicators in the tour
The times when Pliskova was in the top 10 and even the world's number one for a while are long gone. Now we have the 45th number in the world ranking, a solid "middle peasant" of the tour. Nevertheless, let's note the title of Caroline, which she won in February in the hall of Cluj-Napoca. It was then that the Czech tennis player was at the peak of her form, as she then played in the semi-finals in Doha and made it to the quarter-finals in Dubai.

4.05Tip and bets
With her victory over Navarro, the Russian tennis player demonstrated excellent readiness in the hard section of the season. Pliskova beat Tomova with difficulty, and it will be difficult for her to resist the mobile Mirra today, who "pulls" any balls and will have a solid advantage in speed. We believe that today, as in the previous match in Cincinnati, the young Russian will please with a confident victory.
Our prediction is Andreeva's victory with a handicap of (-3) games at odds of 1.64
Bet on total
Mirra has a good return, and it is unlikely that Pliskova will scare her with her serve today. It should also be noted that the Russian tennis player has won eight matches on hard courts this season, and in three of them she won with an exact score of 2-0 in sets.
The second bet is total under 22 games for 1.70
