Odds updated at 7:00 am UK Time on October 15, 2024.
I watched the Bronzetti vs. Bucsa match last night on T2, and Lucia took full advantage of the Spaniards’ lack of success serving. Bronzetti’s life was made easy because of 4 double faults by Bucsa and the Italian snapped off 19 of 27 points off of her second serve.
The win at 4 and 3 for Bronzetti over Bucsa got tricky after Lucia dropped her first two services to go down 3 – 1 in the opening frame. From there it was all Bronzetti and Bucsa looked so frail and out of her element with no ability to get back in the match.
Bronzetti broke Bucsa five times and smashed out five aces with a 62% first-serve and it was enough to advance to today’s affair.
Suzan Lamens is enduring a strange campaign with signs of solid play leading to more signs of struggles lately. Including the five-win run to the Oeiras title in Portugal, Lamens ran off nine straight wins from four victories at the Billie Jean King event.
Despite that, Suzan is sitting at 125th in the WTA Rankings and is 13 – 15 since that 9-game win streak but that record was 10 – 15 before Osaka. The three wins in Japan have given Lamens some confidence and will lead to a surprise effort today.
I don’t know about the outright upset but Pinnacle is leaving the +3 on the board at -115 with Lamens and I can’t resist putting a few games in my pocket.
SUZAN LAMENS RECENT FORM
Lamens is 6 – 2 over the last eight outings and after two qualifying round wins is 3 – 0 in Osaka.
Suzan embarrassed Viktoriya Tomova from the Japan Women’s Open with a straight-sets sweep at 2 and 1 on Monday.
Lamens is 18 – 12 on hard courts this season and has a record of 35 – 23 in 2024.
LUCIA BRONZETTI RECENT FORM
Bronzetti is ranked 78th on the WTA Tour and with a losing record of 26 – 31 a loss to Lamens could see that number drop again. Lucia opened the 2024 campaign ranked 62nd and a 9 – 8 record on clay is the only surface that has produced a winning record for the Italian.
Bronzetti is 15 – 20 on hard courts and was 19 – 19 on this surface a season ago.
LAMENS VS BRONZETTI H2H – STAT OF THE MATCH
