Iga Swiatek vs Belinda Bencic – Match Predictions
Contents
As Iga Swiatek and Belinda Bencic lock horns once again, these are our predictions and tips for this match
Belinda Bencic to Cover +5.5 Games
Granted, Iga Swiatek won all of the last 13 matches she played (excluding walkovers), surrendering just two sets in the process. The Polish ace has been unstoppable in this tournament, defeating all her opponents in straight sets. However, it’s important to note that Bencic will be Swiatek’s toughest opponent yet; she has held her own against the current World number 1 in their most recent encounter. As a matter of fact, Bencic won one of the last two clashes between these players; she covered +5.5 games in both meetings. Despite being the underdog here, we believe there’s a lot of value in backing the Swiss player’s to cover this spread.
At Least 19 Total Games
Next, let’s take a look at the over/under games market. The line is set at 18.5 games for this match, and we believe it’s a bit low considering the last two clashes between these players featured at least one tiebreak. In fact, the last two times these players went up against each other, they ended up playing more than 21 games between them. For this reason, we are taking the over 18.5 games option for this match.

Iga Swiatek
Iga Swiatek took on Lin Zhu, Sara Sorribes Tormo and Petra Martic in the first three rounds; she didn’t have much trouble defeating these players in straight sets. Compared to her previous opponents however, Belinda Bencic will be a relatively tougher nut to crack; it’ll be interesting to see how Swiatek matches up against the Swiss player.
Belinda Bencic
On the other hand, Belinda Bencic faced Katie Swan, Danielle Collins and Magda Linette in the first three rounds. She held her own against these players, dropping just one set en route to the round of 16. The Swiss player will have her work cut out for her, as she takes on an in-form Iga Swiatek.
