Belinda Bencic vs. Marketa Vondrousova: Preview and betting tips

On Saturday morning, the women’s singles final is scheduled for the Tokyo Olympics. Thanks to Marketa Vondroušová, it will also include Czech participation. Will the Sokolov native win the gold medal?

Belinda Bencic is currently ranked twelfth in the WTA rankings. The hard surface, on which the matches in Tokyo are also played, is very popular for the Swiss, as she has won five of her six career titles on it.

In the Japanese capital, the player with Slovak roots is doing very well. She managed to stop, among others, Barbora Krejcikova, who is experiencing the best period of her career so far. But it is also worth mentioning the scalp of Elena Rabakinova.

Markéta Vondroušová was highly criticized before the start of the Olympic Games. The Sokolov native lost four of her last five matches and tennis fans wanted her to leave the participation to Karolina Muchova.

But that didn’t happen and in the end it turned out to be the right choice. The 2019 French Open finalist has been putting in great performances, which have seen her knock out the likes of Bertens, Osaka and Svitolina. In Tokyo, she lost only one set.

So what to bet on in Saturday’s duel? The paper favourite is Markéta Vondroušová, who is showing more convincing performances. Moreover, she has spent less time on the courts, which can play a big role.

Moreover, the Czech Republic’s representative also won her last match in Miami at the end of March in 4:6, 6:4 and 6:4 sets. A similar scenario could repeat itself on Saturday.
