Expected scenario
Ciric Bagaric will try to stay in rallies on the return and extend exchanges, but accumulated fatigue may tell in the closing stages of sets. Havlickova is capable of taking control more often with her first shot after the serve and pressing on her opponent's weaker second serve. If the Czech player avoids a run of unforced errors, the difference should show in one comfortably won set.
⭐ Editor's Prediction
The Croatian has found her rhythm, but her draw in Montréal has been noticeably busier. Havlíčková is better rested for the pace of play and has already shown she can close out this opponent without being taken to a lengthy contest. We expect the Czech to build a comfortable games margin.Pick: Lucie Havlíčková - Games Handicap -3.5
