Command Analysis

Marie Bouzkova

Current form
Bouzkova had a great start in the hard series, immediately making it to the final in Washington. However, at the next two tournaments in Toronto and Cincinnati, the Czech did not win a single match. Nevertheless, in the first round of the US Open, Marie, not without problems, broke the resistance of Eva Lis in three sets (6-2, 1-6, 7-5).
Professional qualities
Marie has a solid technical arsenal and is able to play equally successfully on different surfaces. The Czech has a decent serve, a good feel for the ball and reading of the game, and can play unexpectedly for her opponents at the right moments. The problem is that she cannot fully demonstrate all this over a distance; one can see prolonged slumps.
Current indicators in the tour
Throughout the season, Bouzkova has been playing with ups and downs, hence her not-so-impressive statistics – 19 wins and 17 losses. On hard courts, the Czech showed her best result at the recent tournament in Washington, where she reached the final.
Interesting facts for betting
- Bouzkova has been exchanging winning sets with her opponents for five matches in a row

Liudmila Samsonova

Current form
Samsonova had a successful and fruitful preparation for the US Open. She managed to get to the quarterfinals of Toronto and Cincinnati. In the first round in New York, the Russian tennis player won in two sets against Wang Qiang (6-2, 7-5). It cannot be said that she played perfectly in that match: only 46% of the first ball hits, three times she gave up her serve, made 32 unforced errors with 22 winners.
Professional qualities
Lyudmila has decent physical strength, is tall, which allows her to play first number and dictate her terms on the core. On the other hand, when the game is not going well, the number of mistakes goes off the charts and failures follow.
Current indicators in the tour
In the first half of the season, Samsonova only made it to the semi-finals in Abu Dhabi. Only in the second half did she get going and even managed to win the title of the grass tournament in 's-Hertogenbosch.
Interesting facts for betting
- In four of Samsonova's previous six matches, more than nine games were played in the first set.

2.24Tip and bets
In the first round, Samsonova won in two sets against Wang Qiang, but we did not see a truly convincing game from her. At least for Lyudmila to be able to go into the match with Buzkova as a fairly obvious favorite. Marie beat the Russian tennis player in two of three face-to-face confrontations and today she is capable of playing with her at least on equal terms.
Our prediction is a victory for Buzkova with a handicap of (+4) games with odds of 1.60
