Jasmine Paolini has been a force to be reckoned with lately on the WTA tour. Ranked currently as World No. 4, the Italian has had a decent 2024 season so far, compiling a 38-22 win-loss record and capturing one title at the ATP Dubai event. She has an impressive 17-10 record on outdoor hard courts this year.

Recently, the form of Paolini has been a bit mixed with four wins and three losses in her last seven appearances. However, tenacious and able to fight her way through matches, Paolini is always difficult to take out. Firmly based at the back and tactically savvy, much of Paolini's game relies on patiently building points and exploiting her opponents. Against a player like Bencic, she will need to keep cool and not let pressure rattle her.

Belinda Bencic will come into this encounter as the underdog, but she is not to be underestimated due to her talent and experience. Currently ranked No. 484 due to a long-term injury absence, the Swiss superstar has played only four tournaments in 2024, accumulating an 8-2 record. Although she hasn't played on outdoor hard courts this year, a 6-2 form does indicate that she's getting her rhythm back.

Precision and timing form the bedrock of Bencic's game. The way she takes the ball early to create opportunities and push her opponent behind her powerful groundstrokes-in particular, once she finds her range-can make her very dangerous. Rust and a lack of match fitness could be factors here, however, against an in-form opponent like Paolini. But if Bencic can bring that trademark aggression and sharp net play, she can cause plenty of problems.

The pair have played each other twice before, with Bencic leading 2-0. Both wins have come on hard courts, showcasing her comfort against the game of Paolini. Their last meeting, though, was a while back, and Paolini has grown a lot as a player since then. This head-to-head series adds an interesting psychological factor to the match.

Going into the match, Paolini has momentum and consistency going for her, while Bencic brings an added level of unpredictability into the mix. The Italian's penchant for grinding through long rallies is in huge contrast to Bencic, who would want to minimize those and take risks on every point.

The key for Paolini will be to stay patient, force Bencic into extended exchanges, and capitalize on her opponent's lack of recent match play. Meanwhile, Bencic will need to come out swinging and make the most of her shot-making aggression in keeping Paolini on her back foot.

  • Jasmine Paolini to Win: Given her superior ranking, form, and match fitness, Paolini is the favorite. Betting on her to secure the victory provides a solid option for those looking for a safe pick. (1xbet: 1.5 Odds)
  • Over 21.5 Total Games: This contest could be closer than expected, with both players capable of winning sets. A bet on a higher total games count offers good value. (Bet365: 1.80 Odds)
  • Bencic to Win a Set: Despite her limited match play, Bencic’s talent and aggression give her a chance to snatch at least one set. This bet adds a layer of risk but could yield higher returns. (Betway: 1.61 Odds)
