Sofia (21) had a slightly more difficult course, compared to her opponent on Thursday, being dominated in many moments by lower ranked players such as Ludmila Samsonova, Ana Bogdan, Fiona Ferro or Danielle Rose Collins.
However, each time he managed to mobilize exemplary in the important moments of the decisive sets and proved that it was not by chance that he entered the Grand Slam champions. Kenin is very strong mentally, very ambitious but he also had the technical-tactical arguments on his side.

Tennis Prediction of the Day Sofia Kenin vs Petra Kvitova

I bet with confidence on a better start to the game for the Czech player. Kenin has a reputation as a slow-starter, meaning he starts matches a little weaker, with many mistakes made until he sets his benchmarks, adjusts his position on the field and gets used to the trajectories of the shots coming from the other side of the net.
Kvitova has a dominant approach from the start, serves stronger and returns aggressively, putting constant pressure from the first minute. In the previous direct duel, he led 5-0 in the inaugural set, on clay in Madrid, in 2019.

Prediction Today: 2-0 Kvitova (score after game 2)
Odds: 3.25
