Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova vs Sara Errani – Match Predictions
Contents
Despite being 36 years old, Errani is having a winning record this season and, probably for the last time, will go out in front of the home crowd in Rome.
Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova to win
Unlike Errani, Pavlyuchenkova has a losing record so far in the season but despite that, she is the favorite to win this one. The Russian is five years younger and has been very dominant in the last matches against Errani. She moves better on the court and has a stronger forehand which will prove to be key in this match.
Under 21.5 games
The last time these two players met, Errani won only one game and she also lost a set to love in the previous match on clay. Pavlyuchenkova simply knows how to play against the Italian and will be so dominant that this match will finish pretty quickly and with total game under 21.5.
