Football Prediction of the Day Simona Halep vs Alja Tomljanovic

Simona Halep has always had problems returning to the circuit after a long pause, and against Aljena Tomljanovic there is no easy match announced, the Australian being a constant presence around the 50th place. Considering the previous direct duels, I expect a new match balanced between the two, even if the Romanian starts with the first chance. I will thus rely on a solid replica from the Australians, who has the support of the host audience.

Bet Tips: A. Tomljanovic +4.5
