Command Analysis
Viktoriya Tomova
BulgariaCurrent form
Tomova made it to the quarterfinals in Seoul, not without a bit of luck. In the first round, the Bulgarian tennis player beat Tatiana Maria in an unpredictable style (6-2, 1-6, 6-0). Next came the match against Anisimova, who withdrew from the game in the second set due to injury with the score 7-5, 4-1 in favor of Victoria. It should be noted that since the beginning of the season, Tomova has never won three matches at once in the main draw of a single tournament on open hard courts.
Professional qualities
The Bulgarian tennis player relies on defensive tennis and long rallies in her game. It is not easy to beat her on the back line, the tennis player is very physically resilient.
Current indicators in the tour
Tomova made it to the quarterfinals on open hard courts in Hobart at the beginning of the year and has not had such success on this surface since. Nevertheless, largely due to her successful performances on clay and the semifinals on grass in Bad Homburg, Victoria is ranked 54th in the world rankings, which is high for her.
Interesting facts for betting
- In two of her last three matches on the tour, Tomova traded winning sets with her opponents
- In the three previous matches involving the Bulgarian tennis player, no more than nine games were played in the second set
Veronika Kudermetova
Russian FederationCurrent form
Back in April, Kudermetova managed to get through two rounds at once on clay in Charleston. Veronika subsequently had a serious decline and was unable to get through at least two rounds in the main draw anywhere. However, in Seoul, she managed to break the protracted series of failures. First, the Russian tennis player beat Zhang Shuai with a score of 6-4, 6-3. Then there was a more convincing victory over her compatriot Samsonova (6-4, 6-2).
Professional qualities
Kudermetova has a rich technical arsenal, it is no coincidence that she even once was in the top 10. However, she has not been able to reveal her full potential over the distance, you can often see how Veronika falls back on simple and straightforward tennis. We should also note that the Russian has a good first serve by the standards of women's tennis.
Current indicators in the tour
Veronica certainly can't put the current season down as an asset - only 15 wins and 20 losses since the beginning of the year. On open hard court, the statistics are also negative - seven wins and 11 losses.
Interesting facts for betting
- Veronica secured two victories in Seoul with an exact score of 2-0 in sets
- In nine of Kudermetova's previous 11 matches, more than nine games were played in the second set.

2.24Tip and bets
For the first time in a long time, Kudermetova won two victories in regulation time and will clearly try to build on her success today. However, it will not be that easy. Tomova is known for her stubbornness, and breaking her on the back line is not the easiest task. We think we should expect a fairly tight and equal game.
Our prediction is Tomova's victory with a handicap of (+5) games with odds of 1.57
Bet on total
Both tennis players often play protracted matches. Tomova exchanged winning sets with her opponents in two of the three previous matches. Kudremetova played three sets in four of the last seven meetings. It is unlikely that the upcoming match will end quickly.
The second bet is total over 21 games for 1.93
Bet on the second set
It is impossible to ignore the fact that the most intense struggle in Kudermetova's matches unfolds in the second set. In 9 of Veronika's 11 previous matches, more than nine games were played in this game segment, which we do not rule out today.
Betting Tip - total games in the second set over 9.5 with odds of 2.25
