Cristina Bucsa
SpainCurrent Form
Buxo has made a surprising run to the Round of 16 at the Beijing tournament. Her opening match was against Yao Xinxin, who was clearly outmatched, resulting in a straightforward victory (6-3, 6-2). However, she then achieved two stunning wins against Samsonova (6-1, 4-6, 6-4) and Mertens (4-6, 6-2, 6-2). In these matches, the Spaniard avoided unnecessary risks, patiently waiting for her opponents to make mistakes while executing solid plays from the baseline.

Karolina Muchova
Czech RepublicCurrent Form
Mukhova has made a strong comeback after her injury, showing her place is firmly in the top 10. Remember, Karolina reached the semifinals of the US Open and is building on her success in Beijing. The Czech player defeated Blinkova, Yuan Yue, and Christian without any difficulty, allowing none of her opponents to score more than four games, demonstrating her dominance across all aspects of the game.
Professional Qualities
Karolina is known for her versatility. The Czech player boasts a rich technical arsenal, delivering reliable serves and maintaining control from the baseline while playing at a fast pace. She has no evident weaknesses in her game.
Recent Tour Performance
Since returning to the tour in June after her injury, Karolina has won 15 out of 20 matches, including nine victories on outdoor hard courts. She has climbed to 49th in the rankings, a notable rise considering she was once the eighth-ranked player in the world.

2.24Tip and bets
Today, it seems that Buxsa has minimal chances of achieving another surprising victory. In previous matches, the Spanish player capitalized on numerous unforced errors from both Samsonova and Mertens. However, Muchova is currently playing with much more precision and will not provide Kristina with such opportunities. Our prediction leans towards a convincing win for the favorite.
Our bet is on Muchova to win with a handicap of (-5.5) games at odds of 1.62
Bet on Total
In three matches played in the tournament, Muchova has not allowed her opponents more than four games. We don't believe Buks will achieve much more given her weak serve.
The second bet is on under 19 games at 1.76
Bet on First Set
Additionally, in the last six matches involving Muchova, more than nine games have not been played in the first set. We think Karolina will quickly assert her dominance today.
Prediction: under 9.5 games in the first set with odds of 1.43
