Also taking into account the score of the direct confrontations, 4-1 in favor of Petra Kvitova, respectively the last direct victory, 1 month ago, I bet on the victory of the Czech Republic in minimum sets, thus remaining in the qualifying books for the semifinals.

Kvitova had inexplicable losses in the first match with Osaka, committing 9 double mistakes, several of them linked, when she was in the lead on the table.
