When I watched matches by Pliskova and Dodin, I knew I'll have to bet on over when they face each other. Still, the odds were a pleasant surprise, so I'll gladly take +6 on the French. Pliskova's got a great tournament behind her, and she's at the top of her tennis, but I'm still pretty sure she won't cover this handicap. Her game in the rallies against Rodina wasn't brilliant. She was insecure, and Rodina returned a good part of her balls into the court, forcing her to errors. Add to that only 33% second serve points, it's clear that Dodin will have a chance for a break. It's similar on the other side. Great first serve, aggressive game, and trying to get the winners in every rally. Pliskova's got an advantage because of her experience, but the fact is that she's not playing better tennis right now. Still, I don't think she'll celebrate with three breaks difference. Dodin is 1.83cm tall, and her hands can spread wide, so she'll have her say in Pliskova's second serve return. All in all, I see this as an evened out match where we should see at least one long set, and where Dodin won't lose by six games difference.
