2.21Tip and bets
Sevastova leads in personal meetings with a score of 2-0, but the matches were played a long time ago. Yes, Anastasia defeated Pavlyuchenkova at the start in Madrid, but she did not demonstrate a more or less stable game. If Ostapenko plays at the same level as in Stuttgart last week, then due to her aggressive tennis, she will not leave any chances for her compatriot.
Our betting tip is that Ostapenko will win with a handicap of (-4.5) games with a coefficient of 1.76

If Ostapenko is playing a game, she usually deals with her rivals in two sets, does not delay the fights. It was in this style that Elena recently defeated Sobolenko in the Stuttgart final. We do not think that Sevastova is ready to play on equal terms against Ostapenko at the moment.
The second bet is a total of less than 20 games for 1.85
Bet on the second set
In the last five matches with Ostapenko, more than nine games were played only once in the second game. We expect that by this stage of the game, Elena will play out and leave no chance for her compatriot.
