Karunaratne is having a good season, showing progress through movements around the court. This was not one of her strongest qualities before, but now driving her into corners seems to be an arduous task. However, her play is still far from ideal, and inconsistent serve remains a problem.
Babel is a promising tennis player from France who stood out on the junior tour. In the professional one, she performs more on clay, which is a certain risk factor, since the current tournament is on a hard surface. Nevertheless, her junior matches prove she is clearly not worse on hard court, so her chances of winning the match against Karunaratne are underestimated.
Our prediction: Babel to win. We recommend the “2 Win” bet, odds 3.72
