Command Analysis
Jelena Ostapenko
LatviaCurrent form
Ostapenko's start to the season was unsuccessful. In Australia, the Latvian tennis player played four matches, in which she was able to win only one victory. Last week in Abu Dhabi, she was defeated at the start by Jaber (6-7, 5-7). Nevertheless, in Doha, she broke a series of setbacks and won two consecutive victories for the first time since the beginning of the year. We managed to win against Ito (6-2, 6-1) and Samsonova (7-6, 7-5).

Ostapenko plays super aggressive tennis, always goes on the attack, uses his powerful forehand. At the same time, when Elena is not in shape, such tennis does not have a positive effect, on the contrary, you can see a huge number of unforced errors.

In Doha, the Italian tennis player started immediately from the second round and confidently beat Garcia (6-3, 6-4).

3.40Bet Effectiveness of sets: 2>1
This is how events unfolded in Paolini's last four fights.
2.21Tip and bets
Initially, Paolini was the obvious favorite in the bookmaker line, but gradually the odds shifted to Ostapenko. Indeed, Elena was able to win two tournaments at once for the first time this season, she played out a few times, but it's too early to talk about any stability in her game. The Italian tennis player is able to work more reliably than her opponent on the back line, forcing her to take unnecessary risks and make mistakes. We believe that Jasmine will have a better chance of reaching the quarterfinals today.
Our prediction is that Paolini will win with a coefficient of 1.69

It is impossible not to pay attention to the fact that in three of Ostapenko's four previous matches, tie-breaks were played. It is quite possible to expect that the maximum number of games will be played in one of the sets today.
