Petra KvitovaThe 32-year-old representative of the Czech Republic last played at the US Open.

At the Grand Slam tournament in the USA, Kvitova played more or less well and reached the 1/8 finals, where she lost in two sets to Jessica Pegula from the USA - 3:6; 2:6. This game was on the fifth of September.

Bernard PeraThe 27-year-old representative of the USA, in turn, made her way to the main draw of the tournament in Ostrava through qualification.

At the same time, Pera held both qualification matches on the first of October. First in the morning, Bernarda defeated Barbora Palitsova from the Czech Republic in two sets – 6:1; 6:3. And after a couple of hours, Pera beat another Czech representative Nikola Bartunkova in three sets – 6:0; 3:6; 6:2. In the first set, Bernarda showed a dominant game and eventually made three consecutive breaks. At the start of the second set, Pera immediately made another break and reached the score 2:0 in sets. However, this time Bartunkova was able to pull herself together and recoup pretty quickly. Then the tennis players played a little steadily on their serves, but with the score 4:3 in her favor, Nikola made a second break in a row, while it turned out to be zero. And then the tennis player from the Czech Republic easily served for a set and equalized the score in the match. At the start of the decisive game, the tennis players immediately exchanged breaks. And after that, Pera finally played steadily on her serve again and, in general, began to confidently control the course of the meeting. As a result, Bernarda made two consecutive breaks from the score 3:2, which allowed her to confidently pick up the match. The tennis players spent one hour and forty minutes on the court.

ForecastIn this match, Petra Kvitova is considered a clear favorite by the bookmakers, which is quite fair.

A tennis player from the Czech Republic at a home tournament, of course, should try to go as far as possible, but in the first match after a long pause, Kvitova may certainly have problems. We suggest that you bet more than 19.5 games on the total.
