Command Analysis
Beatriz Haddad Maia
BrazilCurrent form
Haddad Maia could not gain confidence for a long time, fought in each of the matches, but there was no success. Nevertheless, thanks to her persistence, Beatrice still achieved a breakthrough. In Cleveland, she went through three rounds without giving up sets, confidently outplayed Golubic, Buksa and Burel. The most difficult for her was the semi-final against Sinyakova, where she had to play three sets (6-3, 2-6, 6-2).
Professional qualities
The Brazilian tennis player is left-handed, which creates difficulties for many of her opponents. She has an awkward serve, and we should also note her very tenacious play on the back line and the ability to go on the attack at the right moment.
Current indicators in the tour
Haddad Maia feels quite comfortable on all types of surfaces; on hard courts, she has 13 wins and 11 losses since the beginning of the year. Beatrice is ranked 23rd in the world, although she was recently among the top ten.
Interesting facts for betting

- Beatrice won three of her four tournament victories with a precise score of 2-0 in sets.
McCartney Kessler
USACurrent form
Kessler was not among the favorites for the title before the start in Cleveland, but she managed to pleasantly surprise with her game and character, first of all. In three of the four matches held, the American played three sets. True, before the semi-finals, she did not have the most difficult draw - Scott, Wang Xin Yu and Rus. One step away from the final, Kessler played with Potapova, both tennis players worked inconsistently on their serve, and in the third set, the American clearly had more strength (4-6, 6-3, 6-3).
Professional qualities
Kessler doesn't have a very strong serve, and her forehand doesn't always work at a high level either. Overall, we have a tennis player without any particularly strong qualities, but she is distinguished by her stubbornness and character.
Current indicators in the tour
Kessler is having the most successful season of her career. She debuted in the top 100 and will clearly consolidate her position after Cleveland. On hard courts, McCartney has a solid 23 wins and only eight losses since the beginning of the year. This is her specialty surface.

That bet was successful in all four games Haddad Maya played in Cleveland.
1.61Tip and bets
Haddad Maia has experience and reserves of strength on her side, as she lost only one set on the way to the final. Kessler, with great difficulty and not the most confident game, especially on her serve, made it to the decisive round. We don’t think that she will surprise Beatrice with anything today, who is able to work more reliably both on her serve and on the back line.
Our prediction is Haddad Maia's victory with a handicap of (-3.5) games at odds of 1.72
Bet on total
We don't expect Kessler to have the strength for another long match. She lost the opening games twice but came back to the game, and it's unlikely that the experienced Haddad Maia will allow her to make such a comeback today.
The second bet is total under 21.5 games for 1.83
Bet on the first set
Kessler has noticeable problems getting into the game; today she will have to play against left-hander Haddad Maia, and it is far from certain that she will be able to adapt to her playing style right away.
Prediction - Haddad Maia wins the first set with odds of 1.46
