Expert Betting Tips

Anastasia Potapova has too much power and aggression for Jasmine Paolini on a hard court. With great recent form, Potapova's abilities in dictating most rallies from the baseline, with pinpoint accuracy and depth, give her the edge in the match. Although Jasmine Paolini is a technically good player, fighting hard herself, she is expected to struggle in matching the pace and intensity of the shots that come off the racket of Potapova, so the most likely outcome would be a straight-sets win for Potapova. The game isn't going to be too tight, which means fewer total games, supporting the wager Under 23.5 Games.
