Forecast and bets

Paolini with handicap (-3)

Paolini at the beginning of the season does not demonstrate the level of a tennis player in the top 10 of the world rankings, but that does not mean that she is in bad shape now. She copes well with rivals of Tomljanovic's level: Jasmine recently won over Katie Boulter, and in Indian Wells she started with a victory over Anastasia Potapova. We think Paolini will move on to Ayla. Let us remember that last season he beat her in two games at Roland Garros. Our prediction is Paolini's victory with a handicap (-3) in the match, and the odds are 1.85.
