Petra Kvitova to Win

This should be an interesting match between two familiar opponents. Over the past seven years, these players clashed nine times, and Kvitova leads the head-to-head, with five wins and four losses. However, it’s important to point out that recent clashes between these players have actually been a bit one-sided. As a matter of fact, Petra Kvitova won five of the last seven skirmishes between these players. That said, we believe the former World number 2 will advance to the fourth round ahead of her opponent.

Over 21.5 Games

We would like to point out that two of the last three encounters between these players ended in maximum sets, and three of their last four meetings went above the projected over/under line. In the same vein, both players have enjoyed a fairly good run of form in recent weeks. With that in mind, we believe that this match can go all the way to three sets, and it should go over 21.5 games.

Jelena Ostapenko
