Horse Racing Wednesday Tennis Best Bet: WTA Lausanne, Elisabetta Cocciaretto vs Julia Riera
Elisabetta Cocciaretto vs Julia Riera Best Bet: Wednesday, July 26th
Nice job from Chloe Paquet, who struggled to maintain her lead at first, but settled in on serve and did, in fact, prove to be much stronger behind her serve in a return-oriented match than her opponent.
For Wednesday, we’ll stay in Lausanne and preview the matchup between Elisabetta Cocciaretto and Julia Riera.
In this article:
Elisabetta Cocciaretto vs Julia Riera Preview
Wed, July 26th, 12:30 (UK Time)
Well, one day after dealing with an incredible defender on clay courts in Celine Naef, Cocciaretto will deal with another pesky clay courter in Riera.
This time around, however, she should be able to work her way through with a bit more ease.
While the Argentine is a strong defensive player, she lacks the ability to counterpunch and flip control of the rallies that the young Swiss does. She also can’t generate nearly as much pace as Naef. Yet her serve is certainly a weakness.
That could be an issue against the Italian, who took a while to work her way into the match against Naef, but managed to break in six of the final seven service games of the Swiss.
With a consistent game in her own right, as well as the ability to generate some pace on her forehand wing and the more aggressive mindset, she should be able to carry her momentum over from a dominant third set on Tuesday into this one.
Elisabetta Cocciaretto vs Julia Riera Best Bet
While Cocciaretto may have underperformed market expectations on Tuesday, the fact is, she was playing a much more well-rounded opponent.
Come Wednesday, she’ll be well prepared for the defensive stubbornness she’ll be greeted with by Riera, but shouldn’t face nearly as much offensive pressure coming from the other side of the net.
I’ll back her to once again progress, this time with ease.
