Karolina Pliskova vs. Iga Swiatek: Preview and betting tips

Karolina Pliskova will face her first ever final in 2021 on Sunday against Poland’s Iga Swiatek, the reigning French Open champion. How will the match play out?

Karolina Pliskova is currently ranked ninth in the WTA rankings, making her the Czech number one. However, she hasn’t done too well so far in 2021.

Her best result was the third round at the Australian Open and in Stuttgart. In the current season, the former world number one has not scored more than two wins in a row until now.

Her opponent on Sunday will be Iga Swiatek. The 19-year-old Polish tennis player is one of the world’s elite, as evidenced by her triumph at last year’s French Open, among other things.

At the tournament in Rome, which belongs to the Masters 1 000 category, Swiatek has successively defeated Alison Riske, Madison Keys, Barbora Krejcikova, Elina Svitolina and Cori Gauff.

So what to bet on? Considering the improved form of Karolina Pliskova and the fact that the Polish tennis player played two matches on Saturday (she did not play on Friday due to bad weather), we offer a tip on the Czech tennis player.

She is also doing extremely well at the event in Rome. For the third time in a row, she has reached the final here, and in 2019 she could lift the winner’s trophy over the head of England’s Johanna Konta.
