Marta Kostyuk

The Ukrainian woman is expected to make a breakthrough, which is gradually brewing. Marta played two matches against strong opposition in Brisbane and looked confident, although there were many nervous moments.

In the first match against Putintseva from Kazakhstan, there were difficulties only in the first game, and then she defeated her opponent – 6:7, 6:1, 6:0. The battle against Amanda Anisimova, the third ranked player in the world, was difficult – 6:4, 6:3, maybe the opponent had problems, took a medical time-out, although Kostyuk’s victory was logical and well-deserved.

Now the Ukrainians will have to play against another opponent from the top 10, due to their composure and poise, there is a chance to pass, where they can potentially play with the winner of the Pegula – Samsonov pair. Marta is well prepared, she is able to show her best tennis.

Mirra Andreeva

“Neutralka” quickly broke into the elite of world tennis, she finished the last season in the top 10, and rose to the fifth step at most. Last year, Andreeva was remembered for winning the Indian Wells and Dubai tournaments, although she clearly lacks stability.

In Brisbane, the athlete started with a victory over Australian Olivia Gadeki – 4:6, 6:1, 6:2. The battle against Linda Noskova turned out to be incredibly difficult – 5:7, 6:4, 7:5, the intrigue lasted until the last draw. Andreeva is not the most pleasant opponent in terms of behavior, she is emotional, behaves aggressively when she loses.

Forecast

Tennis players have never played against each other before, and Andreeva is a slight favorite in the upcoming meeting. There is a certain pattern in the quotes, because the athlete with a higher rating is preferred.

I expect a difficult battle, with equal chances of success. Since the “neutral” had a hard time entering the game in the past matches, it makes sense to think about the bet on the victory of Kostyuk in the first set. In the end, I suggest to bet on a total of more than 20.5 games, such a match cannot end.
