Command Analysis
Belinda Bencic
SwitzerlandCurrent form
Bencic is clearly betting on winning the title in Angers. The Swiss tennis player has passed three rounds without any problems, not giving up a single set in the confrontations with Tig, Bolkvadze and Dodin. And this is taking into account that Belinda returned to the tour just a little over a month ago, did not play for a year, and managed to give birth to a child during this time.
Professional qualities
Belinda has a well-developed technique and a rich arsenal of strikes. She loves and knows how to increase the tempo in rallies when exchanging strikes, thereby forcing her opponents to make mistakes.
Current indicators in the tour
Bencic returned to the tour only at the end of October and managed to play eight matches, winning seven. In the world rankings, she is now only at position 907.
Interesting facts for betting
- In her last four matches, Bencic has won with a precise score of 2-0 in sets.
- No more than eight games have been played in the second set in Belinda four previous matches
Dominika Salkova
Czech RepublicCurrent form
Šalková is one of the hopes of modern Czech women tennis. The 20-year-old tennis player has been performing strongly in recent tournaments in European halls and her entry into the semi-finals in Angers did not come as a big surprise. In the tournament draw, she beat Kraus, Monnet and Lepchenko, and was the bookmakers' favorite everywhere. Dominika lost her only set in the quarter-final match against Varvara Lepchenko (6-2, 2-6, 6-2).
Professional qualities
Shalkova has a rich technical arsenal, a powerful forehand and a solid first serve by women tennis standards, thanks to which she can score many easy points on fast surfaces. At the same time, Dominika lacks stability; if the game is not going well, she begins to make many unforced errors.
Current indicators in the tour
Since the beginning of the year, Shalkova has won 41 matches on the tour and suffered 24 losses. She currently ranks 173rd in the world rankings.
Interesting facts for betting
- Four of Shalkova previous five matches have been played in the minimum number of sets
- In the last three matches of the Czech tennis player, more than nine games were not played in the second set

Throughout the tournament, Bencic has demonstrated a confident game, using her experience and ability to improve at the right moments of matches. Undoubtedly, Shalkova is a talented tennis player, but there are still many mistakes in her game, you can often see how she loses entire games, as was the case, for example, in the confrontation with Lepchenko. We believe that Belinda will easily reach the final.

In the four previous matches involving Bencic, no more than eight games were played in the second set. We expect that this time Belinda will confidently "press" her young opponent.
