Strakhova is an experienced clay player, with many victories against ITF top 300 players. She performs in fairly strong tournaments by the standards of ITF, where the level of opponents allows her to develop. This season does not look very successful for her, but we note that she rarely loses to opponents with a lower rating.
The last 2 seasons were awful for Kung: the final statistics on all surfaces leaves much to be desired. The Swiss looks especially bad on clay, sometimes losing even to rivals with a rating below the ITF top 1000.
Right now, Kung can hardly compete with Strakhova. Her problems are not just temporary loss of optimal conditions, but the level of play has been low for 2 seasons in a row.
Our prediction: Strakhova to win. We recommend the “1 Win” bet, odds 1.64
