In the 1/16 final of the championship in Guadalajara on hard court, Aliaksandra Sasnovich from Belarus will compete against Caroline Garcia from France. Our wager is on total over.
29-year-old Aliaksandra, currently in the 89th position in the global ranking of tennis players, has won her first match at the tournament in Guadalajara against Rus with a score of 6:1, 7:6 (7:5). Prior to that, the tennis player partook in the San Diego tournament where she passed the qualifier successfully and won against Caetano with the score of 6:1, 6:4 and Lepchenko 6:3, 6:2. In the main draw of the tournament she overcame Bencic 6:3, 3:6, 6:2, but lost to Navarro with a score of 5:7, 4:6.
At the US Open, Sasnovich failed to pass the first round, succumbing to Linette, but in Cleveland, she successfully qualified, defeating Poznikhirenko with a score of 6:4, 6:2 and Contreras Gomez 7:5, 4:6, 6:2. In the main draw, she overcame Navarro 3:6, 6:4, 7:5, but lost to Alexandrova 6:7 (2:7), 3:6. Contingently, in Cincinnati, she passed the qualifier round as well, overcame Bogdan and Parks, but fell short in the main draw to Zheng.
Aliaksandra went through a series of loss streaks previously, with defeat in five out of seven matches. In Warsaw, Sasnovich conceded to Muhova, beat Parrizas Diaz at Wimbledon, but lost to Kvitova. In Bad Homburg, she failed to face off Masarova. In Berlin, Aliaksandra triumphed over Azarenko but fell short to Sakkari. In the 's-Hertogenbosch tournament she reached the semifinals earlier on. In this tournament, she bested Stefanini with a score of 6:0, 6:3, Minnen 6:2, 4:6, 6:3, and Samsonova, but then lost to Alexandrova 1:6, 6:7 (1:7). This tournament currently marks the first in the season where Aliaksandra has managed to win three consecutive matches.
29-year-old Caroline Garcia, currently sitting at 11th place globally, partook in the San Diego tournament where she passed Stephens with a score of 6:3, 3:6, 6:1 but fell short against Collins 2:6, 3:6. At the US Open, she lost the first match to Van with the score of 4:6, 1:6, and in Cleveland, she reached the quarterfinals, besting Frühvirtová 6:3, 6:2 and Stirn 7:6 (7:4), 6:3 but was eventually defeated by Zhu Lin 4:6, 1:6.
Prior to this, Garcia went through a poor run and suffered four consecutive losses: in Cincinnati to Stephens with a score of 6:4, 4:6, 4:6, in Montreal to Bouzkova 4:6, 6:4, 2:6 and in Washington, D.C. to Kostyuk 2:6, 3:6. At Wimbledon, Garcia triumphed over Volynets 6:4, 6:3 and Fernandez 3:6, 6:4, 7:6 (10:6), but lost to Bouzkova 6:7 (0:7), 6:4, 5:7. In June, Garcia reached the quarterfinals in Eastbourne, beating Brengle with a score of 6:1, 7:5 and Bogdan 6:3, 6:4, but had to withdraw from the match against Kasatkina with a score of 2:6, 1:2 due to injury. Garcia also participated in the Berlin tournament where she won against Lisicki and Förlis but suffered a defeat to Kvitova.
At the French Open, Caroline Garcia was unable to get into the second round; she beat Xiyu Wang with a score of 7:6 (7:4), 4:6, 6:4, but lost to Blinkova 6:4, 3:6, 5:7. She also failed to cross the second round in the three previous tournaments. In Rome, she beat Bogdan but lost to Osorio-Serrano, in Madrid topped Putintseva but fell short against Sherif, and in Stuttgart, overcame Maria but was defeated by Potapova.
Among Garcia's successful performances, it is also worth noting her reaching the final on the hard court tournament in Monterrey in March as well as the final in Lyon in February.
Previously, the athletes have faced each other 5 times, with Garcia clinching the victory in all of the encounters.
Garcia has been displaying inconsistency on hard court recently. I believe Sasnovich will be able to put up a fight in the impending match, hence my wager is on total over.
