Command Analysis

Mirra Andreeva

Current form
There were concerns in the betting tips that after the Olympics Andreeva would have difficulties in switching to hard. However, Mirra dispelled all these concerns, having secured two confident victories over Navarro (6-2, 6-2) and Pliskova (6-3, 6-2). The young Russian played the matches in one breath, played with a minimum number of unforced errors, but at the same time she was moderately aggressive and bold.
Professional qualities
Andreeva is distinguished by her mature tennis beyond her years. The tennis player has an undeniable talent, she has a serious technical arsenal, but at the same time she acts thoughtfully on the court, trying to play combination tennis.

The 17-year-old is close to her main goal for the season – debuting in the top 20. At the moment, she is the 24th racket in the world. On hard courts this year, Mira has made the quarterfinals of Brisbane and the 1/8 finals of the Australian Open.

2.25Tip and bets
Andreeva played her matches in Cincinnati more confidently on her way to the 1/8 finals. At the same time, Paolini had only one match after switching to hard, already in the second set of the confrontation with Potapova she "felt" her game, clearly worked on her serve. This year, the rivals played each other twice on clay. In Madrid, Mirra was stronger, and in Paris, Jasmine took revenge. We believe that the chances of reaching the quarterfinals in this pair are largely equal and recommend a betting tip for the somewhat underestimated Italian.
Our prediction is Paolini's victory with odds of 2.16

Bet on the first set
We expect that the first set, the fight for the initiative, will be key today. In Paolini's four previous matches, more than nine games were played in this segment, which we expect to happen this time as well.
