Which of the compatriots has a better chance of winning and reaching the semifinals? We recommend that you read our forecast and choose the best bets on the game
Command Analysis
Bernarda Pera
USACurrent form
Pera is playing in Auckland for the second time in her career. In 2023, Bernarda couldn't show anything, she put her racket away in the first round. This time we see her in the quarterfinals, and in the two matches she played, even taking into account her unstable play, the American didn't give up a single set. First, she managed to win with a score of 6-2, 7-5 against Jimenez Kasintseva, and then in a close fight against the Canadian Marino (7-6, 6-4).
Professional qualities
Bernarda tries to play in an aggressive manner, boldly takes the initiative in rallies into her own hands, does not wait for her opponents to make mistakes. This kind of tennis, when the American is in shape, brings her success, but at the same time, when she is not in optimal playing condition, you can see outright failures with a lot of mistakes in simple situations.
Current indicators in the tour
Pera currently occupies a modest 71st place in the world rankings. Her best result in her career is 27th place. Last year, Bernarda played with varying success on open hard courts, winning 21 matches, but suffering 16 defeats.
Interesting facts for betting
- Pera has played three matches in her career in Oakland, all of which ended in two sets.
- In two matches on the way to the quarterfinals, Bernarda played more than nine games in the second set
Robin Montgomery
USACurrent form
Montgomery came close to debuting in the top 100 at the end of the last season and, judging by her play in Auckland, she intends to achieve this achievement. Robin had the biggest difficulties in the tournament grid at the start in the confrontation with Hontama, when she gave up a set, but in the decisive set, thanks to a more stable game, she crushed the Japanese (6-3, 2-6, 6-0). In the second round, she more confidently defeated another representative of Japan, Hibino, with a score of 6-2, 6-2.
Professional qualities
Montgomery relies on a powerful serve and a strong forehand in her game. She is not very consistent or reliable on the return. We should also note the high speed and footwork.
Current indicators in the tour
Robin is currently ranked 117th in the world, her best achievement is 105th place. Last season, Montgomery did not have the most outstanding results on outdoor hard courts - nine wins and the same number of losses.
Interesting facts for betting
- In their only personal meeting, Montgomery defeated her upcoming opponent in three sets.
- Montgomery played five sets en route to the quarterfinals, none of which went to more than nine games.

1.71Tip and bets
Bookmakers give the advantage to Bernarda in the upcoming match, although she did not go through the tournament grid so confidently, there was no particular stability in the game. Montgomery has been making significant progress in the tour in recent years, has come close to debuting in the top 100, and has experience of defeating her compatriot. We think that Robin will have no less chance of winning today than Pera.
Our prediction is Montgomery victory with odds of 2.35
