Command Analysis

Victoria Azarenka

Current form
In the first round, Azarenka played against Yulia Starodubtseva. The Belarusian tennis player needed only one set to catch the right rhythm and adjust to her opponent's style of play. In the end, she won with a score of 3-6, 6-1, 6-1, based on experience. The 10 double faults are alarming, but she made five of them in the first set. Traditionally, we see high rates on the return - 48% of points.
Professional qualities
Azarenka has a huge experience, which allows her to adapt to any opponent. Victoria has an excellent return and a well-developed backhand. Now, of course, there is a lack of speed, and the serve is also far from the most formidable weapon in her hands.
Current indicators in the tour
Victoria periodically experiences health problems, misses individual tournaments, but overall she has impressive statistics – 29 wins and 13 losses. On hard courts, the Belarusian tennis player won 19 out of 27 matches. In the world ranking, she is currently in 20th place.

Clara Burel

Current form
Burel miraculously saved herself in the first round game against Stephens. The Frenchwoman lost the first set 0-6, was down 1-4 in the second set, but managed to win (0-6, 7-5, 7-5). Of course, we should give credit to her, she showed character, but there was no consistent play, especially on her serve - 48% of points won. And the number of unforced errors is huge - 42 with 19 winners.
Professional qualities
Burel tries to play from a position of strength, to serve powerfully, but she is too unstable a tennis player to play matches evenly and confidently in this style. Plus, all her actions on the court are very straightforward and readable.
Current indicators in the tour
Clara is ranked 58th in the world, a typical mid-table player on tour. She hasn't had much success this season, and has won 10 out of 18 matches on hard.

2.25Tip and bets
With not the most stable game, largely due to mistakes by Stephens, the French tennis player made it to the second round. It is unlikely that Azarenka will allow herself to play as weakly in the decisive moments as Sloane did. Victoria clearly improved her game during the first round match, Clara will not be able to present her with any difficulties or surprises.
Our prediction is Azarenka's victory with a handicap of (-4.5) games with odds of 1.83
