Forecast
Bookmakers consider Dayana Yastremskaya to be an almost unconditional favorite in this match, but Kristina Buxa has already shown that she is not afraid of anything at this tournament. We expect that there will be a hard fight here, and therefore we suggest that you bet more than 20.5 games on the total.
