2.24Tip and bets
We believe that there is no need to expect a sensation in this pair. Mladenovic is currently weaker than the Colombian tennis player in all respects. Arango is capable of not only playing more consistently than Kristina on the back line, but also offering her a high tempo in rallies when exchanging blows, forcing her to make mistakes. Perhaps, on fast surfaces, the Frenchwoman would have had chances, but not on clay.
