Tagger vs Bejlek Prediction 24 July 2026

The Austrian is gradually making her way up the tour, and it's hard to say where her ceiling is. She prefers clay over hard courts - but Tagger has now spent two weeks on the faster surface. Not without trouble. The wins she's picked up have come against lower-ranked opponents.

In Prague, she's beaten Xinyu Gao and Mai Hontama. Not an impressive list. Neither player is inside the top 100. Against Hontama in her last match, Tagger won in 1 hour and 39 minutes, dropping just one service game. First-serve percentage was 77% - decent enough. But she won only 67% of points on that first serve. Not many free points. Worth keeping in mind.

Looking back at last week's match against Taggер, both players gradually picked up the pace. After a couple of breaks, Sara started playing more effectively - her aggression made the difference. It ended in a rout. Will history repeat itself? Bejlek has been sharp in Prague too.

One match against Maria Timofeeva backs that up. Her opponent took just two games - one of them on Bejlek's serve. The key to the Czech's win: return pressure on Timofeeva's second serve, winning 80% of those points. Hard to find many negatives overall: first-serve accuracy sat at 69%, and she won 65% of points behind it.
