Match Predict – Handicap (-3.5) for Bencic

A year ago in Miami on the hard court, Bencic saw no resistance from Kostyuk (6-3, 6-1). Belinda entered the new season more than confidently under Dmitry Tursunov and will clearly have a good chance of reaching the quarterfinals today. Especially as Marta did not impress in her opening game against Cirstea.

Total Games Under 22

In their only face-to-face encounter, Kostyuk only managed to win four games. It’s unlikely we’ll see a long match today. Especially as Bencic has won seven of her eight victories in the new season with an accurate 2-0 in sets.

Preliminary review and pre-match prediction for Marta Kostyuk vs Belinda Bencic

Marta Kostyuk:

Kostyuk defeated Sorana Cirstea (6-2, 1-6, 6-2) in the first round.

Marta played the first and third sets without giving up a single game on her serve.

Last week, the Ukrainian reached the quarter-finals in Hua Hin, Thailand. At first, she had to somehow defeat Liang En-shuo (6-7, 6-3, 6-0) and Nao Hibino (6-3, 7-6) before losing to Bianca Andreescu (0-6, 6-7).

Remarkably, in her match against Andreescu, Marta was close to a comeback. In the second set, she was losing 1:5, but somehow she got to the tie-break. However, that was the end of her luck.

In the 2021 season, Kostyuk reached the quarter-finals in Abu Dhabi.

Marta Kostyuk has lost 11 times in a row to top-10 tennis players.

Belinda Bencic:

Bencic won the Adelaide International II last month. In the deciding match, Belinda defeated Daria Kasatkina (6-0, 6-2).

The Swiss had also beaten Garbine Muguruza (6-3, 6-4), Anna Kalinskaya (6-3, 6-3) and Caroline Garcia (6-2, 3-6, 6-4). The 1/2 final match against Veronika Kudermetova did not take place due to the injury of her opponent.

At the Australian Open, Bencic had a quiet first three rounds before losing to future champion Aryna Sabalenka. After the match, she admitted she had a hard time against the power of the Belarusian.

Belinda Bencic has won eight of her last nine hard-court encounters.
