Polina was able to reach the quarterfinals of the tournament. This is a good achievement for her. She beat Yamaguchi (1-6, 6-0 and 6-0), P. Hong (7-5 and 6-4) and E. Alexandrova (2-6 and 5-7). But during the tournament she lost to Lou (4-6 and 4-6). In the match against her compatriot, she was able to put the squeeze on Alexandrova in the second set.
Haddad-Maia performed well on the American courts. She won four matches. She lost to Muchova (1-6 and 4-6). In the last round of the current tournament, she beat Tomljanovic (3-6 and 4-6). Now the Brazilian athlete is showing stronger tennis. She will enter the court as a favorite. It is difficult for Polina to play against strong opponents. Moreover, we need to take into account the fatigue that has accumulated. Let's not forget about the instability in the game.

Both tennis players are at the same level. They show almost the same results. Tomova won two of her last five matches. In the last game of the tournament, the victory came with great difficulty. She easily won the first set (2 - 6). But T. Maria took the second (6 - 1). The opponent did not have the strength for the third set (0 - 6).
Kudermetova won three of five matches. In Seoul, she won two easy victories. Surprisingly, she beat Zhang (6-4 and 6-3) and Samsonova (6-4 and 6-2). Judging by the level of play, Veronika has begun to recover. Her psychological state has become more stable. She is capable of beating Tomova. Kudermetova's serve has improved. She has become more attentive in receiving. She often immediately goes on the counterattack. These factors make the Russian the favorite.
D. Schneider - M. Kostyuk
Start date: 09/20/2024
Start time: 12.30
Sport: tennis
Tournament: WTA500 Seoul
Hosts: D. Schneider
Away: M. Kostyuk
Bet: P1
Odds: 2.06
Schneider and Kostyuk are in the second ten of the ranking. Diana is in 16th place. Marta is ranked 18th. But recently the Russian has been showing a more stable game. She has won four of the last five matches. Moreover. All the meetings ended in two sets.
Marta is not stable. She works well on the court. But she cannot always control her emotions. This leads to a large number of unforced errors. In the last five matches, she has won three victories. She lost to Navarro and Sirott.
The Ukrainian is the favorite. But she has a very slight advantage. Personal motives will play a role in this match. Moreover, not only sports ones. All these facts indicate that the match will be stubborn and long.
