It is worth noting that the last two head-to-head meetings in our pairing were won by Marketa, in Rome in 2020 and at the Olympics in 2021. We believe bookmakers rightly put Marketa as the favorite for the upcoming meeting. However, we should also credit Elina, who knocked Azarenka and Swiatek out of the Wimbledon tournament. We believe the match will be long, 3-set, and Vondrousova will win it in three games.
