Martha Kostyuk

The Ukrainian athlete looked good at the last toronto tournament, where she gave way to the quarterfinals of the fisherman. It is worth noting that in the mentioned match Kostyuk starred from the match at the expense of 1: 6, 1: 2. The difference was not so obvious on the court as in the account, but apparently Martha could not really play full power, there were problems with the wrist.

Until the tennis player can publish such a tournament where the quarter -finals go. In places Kostyuk shows excellent tennis, there is a character, in the same Toronto she won three matches, giving away the first party. If there are no problems with health, Martha can give a good tournament, only a stability that is missing this season is needed.

Tatiana Maria

Just on August 8, a German athlete celebrated her 41 birthday, many at this age for a long time, but Maria does not tie with tennis. This season, the German even won the ITF tournament in India, which is not significant, and then in London became a sensational champion of the grassy five hundred. On the mentioned tournament, Maria started with qualification, and then in the main grid passed such strong rivals as: Leila Farnades, Karolina Mukhova, Elena Rybakin, Madison goats, and in the finals overcame Amanda Anisimov.

In Zincinnat, the athlete began with a confident victory over the qualifier, American Vitnie Osigu will be 6: 2, 6: 3. Before this tournament in the German had a series of four defeats in a row.

Personal meetings

The athletes played only once, a year ago in Toronto, then Kostyuk easily won less than an hour – 6: 0, 6: 2.

The prognosis for the match

On paper, the Ukrainian is a favorite, Martha is higher in the ranking and younger than 15 years. Of course, in London, the German surprised, but they take their years, catch up with young and ambitious.

The main advantage of Mary is that she does not press the result. I think Kostyuk will have an advantage in this match, put on her victory with the foral -4.5 game. Betking Bookmaker estimates the likelihood of such a result with a factor of 1.81.
