Dayana Yastremska vs Tereza Martincova: Will Dayana take revenge for January 2017?

In the last 32 of the tennis tournament in Adelaide, Australia, Dayana Yastremska will meet Tereza Martincova. Martincova will start in the tournament from the main draw, i.e. for Tereza, the upcoming meeting will be her first, while Dayana has already played two qualifying matches.

Dayana Yastremska current form

The season started badly for Dayana, losing her first match in Melbourne against Kerkhove in two sets. As mentioned above, the Ukrainian has played two matches in Adelaide and knocked out Zuger and Van Uytvanck. And what is interesting is that in the match against the Belgian, Dayana was listed as an outsider and lost the first game but managed to catch the initiative and eventually got into the main draw. The match against Van Uytvanck lasted an hour and a half, and Dayana served six times on six double faults. It should be noted that her somewhat risky style of play played a positive role. At the expense of a good serve and quality second serve reception, Yastremska celebrated the victory.

Tereza Martincova current form

The Czech representative played only one official match in 2022 at the Melbourne tournament and lost to Croatian Konjuh in two sets in one hour and 35 minutes. Tereza had a poor showing in that game, serving once and winning two doubles, 56% of her first serve points and 48% of her second serve points. The Czech is not bad on the court, but her serve stats leave a lot to be desired. All in all, Martincova's defeat in that game was logical. The last tournament for Tereza in 2021 was in Moscow, where the Czech beat Bara but lost to Muguruza.

Expert Betting Tips

As usual, at the start of the season, we need to look at the rankings and the statistics of personal meetings. In this indicator, Tereza has an advantage over Dayana and plays practice. But Yastremska has better practice than Martincova. Dayana has noticeably improved since the loss to Kerkhove, and frankly, it's unlikely that Dayana should go in this pairing as the outsider. We think the bookmakers are somewhat underestimating the Ukrainian's real chances of winning. The following betting odds for the upcoming meeting are Handicap 1 (1.5) for 1.61, correct score 2-0 for 2.75.
