Match prediction: Mboko in 3 sets.

Update: Mboko served first. She faced a break point but recovered to hold. In the next game, Andreeva was broken to 30. As I was expecting a tight match, I backed Andreeva at 2.26.

The next 2 games were holds of serve. Mboko served at 3-1 and was broken to 15. I removed most of my liability by laying Andreeva at 1.73.

Andreeva then had an easy hold to get to 3-3. In the next game, Mboko was broken to 15 and I hedged evenly at 1.28.

Andreeva had an easy hold in the next game and Mboko was broken for a third time to give Andreeva the set.
Mboko’s stats in the first set were weak. She won 50% of first serve points and 33% of 2nd serve points. She also had only 1 break point on Andreeva’s serve. She certainly wasn’t performing as expected!

When deciding whether or not to lay the set 1 winner, I look at how the losing player ended the set compared to how they started it. Mboko had been broken in her last 3 service games. I did not lay Andreeva at the start of set 2.

Andreeva started the second set with an easy hold and Mboko was then broken for the fourth time in a row. I need a good reason to turn down the chance to lay a player when they are a set and a break ahead. Mboko was really struggling and I stayed out.

Andreeva then held to 0. In her next service game, Mboko faced another break point in her next service game but did recover to hold. Andreeva held to 15. Mboko was then broken to 15 and Andreeva served out the match to 30.

Andreeva won 6-3, 6-1.
