Belinda Bencic v Barbora Krejcikova
Just a few days after they faced in the Tallinn Open semi-final, Bencic and Krejcikova will play again. This time it will be on Czech soil with Krejcikova having the crowd behind her and it’s something she could use. The Czech player won their recent clash as well and it was a great match.
This is largely a matchup that either player can win and just because Krejcikvoa won the previous one doesn’t mean she will win this one as well. I could actually see Bencic winning this one as she will know what to expect and how to play.
It’s going to be a very competitive match with either player being capable of winning the match. The pick we had for that match was over on the games and we kind of expect a very similar thing. Even if we see only two sets there is a high chance one is a tiebreak and that should be enough.
Tip: Over 20.5 games: 5/6 (Click Here to Bet with bet365)
Daria Kasatkina v Bianca Andreescu
Another solid match in Ostrava will be between Daria Kasatkina and Ekaterina Alexandrova. Both of them have had amazing seasons so far but Kasatkina has had the better one overall. Alexandrova played quite good in recent weeks with Kasatkina not playing at all.
She did return with a fairly solid win over Raducanu and I think she will be hard to beat for her compatriot. Kasatkina is favoured her because her playstyle can give a lot of trouble to Alexandrov who likes to attack from the baseline.
Kasatkina will get plenty of balls back if her opponent doesn’t play a stellar match, she’s in trouble. The best bet in this type of match is just to take the over as it’s likely because it’s a close match. 20,5 seems like a good margin to do that.

Hubert Hurkacz v Alexander Bublik
Native player Bublik will try to make the Astana fans happy as he tries to beat Hubert Hurkacz. It’s a slow surface and it should give him plenty of chances to unleash returns and many other creative shots he has in his arsenal. One thing Hurkacz will have on his side is the serve. His precision works superbly well on courts like this.
Both will win plenty of points with their serve and the return will be crucial. Both are pretty solid in that department as well so it will be close. A solid option would be the oever as I think it will come but there is a lot of value in backing the match going to the distance.
Hurkacz is far mor elikely to keep his composure in a longer match and he leads the H2H 2-1. Neither of those matches went the distance before but as we might see some tiebreak it’s like to swing to both sides a bit. Take Hurkacz in three.
Tip: Hurkacz to win in three sets: 3/1 (Click Here to Bet with bet365)
