On Thursday morning, from 09.30, the match of the second round of ITF Heraklion 12 in Greece is scheduled, between the Czech Darja Vidmanova (1116 WTA) from the Czech Republic and Oana Gavrilă (659 WTA) from Romania.
The recommended prognosis for this unique duel is favorable for the little girl, despite the more modest ranking.

Darja Vidmanova: Team form, news and statistics

Darja (17 years old) is a long-sighted Czech player, who has already achieved some impressive results at senior level.
She won the Svijany Open in August, immediately after the lockdown. There participated several much better ranked compatriots such as Kolodziejova, Krejcikova, Maleckova or Smitkova.
He had previously won unofficial victories in training matches on Prague clay, against Katerina Siniakova (6-4 3-6 7-6) or Lucia Hradecka (6-3 6-3).
Vidmanova also played in the final of the Moravia Open, losing 4-6 1-6 to Barbora Krejcikova.
Recently, she played a semifinal at ITF Heraklion 10, being defeated by the Romanian Alexandra Cadanțu, and at ITF Heraklion 11 she lost from round 1 in front of the future finalist – the Italian Martina Colmegna.
In the first round on November 24 passed in a minimum of sets of Croatian
Oleksandra Oliynykova, score 6-4 6-3.

Oana Gavrilă: Team form, news and statistics

Oana (22 years old) was ranked highest on the 505th WTA position, winning throughout her professional career 4 ITF singles titles, one on hard and the other three on slag.
In 2019 it was imposed for the last time, right here in Heraklion.
Gavrilă has an even better record in the doubles event, where he has 15 ITF titles, 2 of them obtained in 2020, most recently on October 31 in Pazardzhik, Bulgaria, together with his compatriot Oana Simion.
In this specialty it is ranked 437th in the world.
This season he has a negative ratio, of 13 victories and 16 official failures, all matches being played on slow ground.
In the first round, Oana had a 19-year-old teenager – Sada Nahimana from Burundi, occupying the 512 WTA place, with the score of 6-3 6-4.

The Romanian and the Czech have never faced each other in an official women’s singles match, being players from different generations.

Tennis Prediction of the Day Darja Vidmanova vs Oana Gavrilă

I am in the hands of the Czech sportswoman, in this second round of ITF Heraklion 12. Darja Vidmanova is one of the most talented products of Czech tennis in recent years, with a promising future.
She has already achieved resounding victories in 2020, in front of much better ranked compatriots such as Lucie Hradecka or Katerina Siniakova. Therefore, I consider that Oana Gavrilă’s greater experience is not necessarily a decisive factor in this duel.
The 22-year-old Romanian has a negative balance on slag in the current season, being far from her best level, being also affected by the prolonged break caused by the pandemic. Despite her weaker position in the WTA hierarchy, Vidmanova has the weapons to prevail in the Crete tournament on Thursday morning.
I recommend the average stake, given the possible inherent fluctuations in the form of teenage tennis players.
