To set the right bet for Varvara Gracheva vs Karolina Pliskova, read our free predictions and tips for this match
Karolina Pliskova to Win in Straight Sets
To be fair, Varvara Gracheva has done everything right in this tournament so far. She knocked out number 8 seed Daria Kasatkina in the first round, and has won both of her matches in straight sets. However, it’s worth mentioning that this is Gracheva’s best outing at the Australian Open, or in any grand slam whatsoever; she has never made it to the second round of a grand slam in her career. In contrast, Karolina Pliskova has reached the semi-final or final of all four slams in her career. Considering Pliskova won four of her last five matches in straight sets, we should expect her to do the same today.
Under 20.5 Games
We would like to point out that Karolina Pliskova has played six matches across all competitions this year, and they all ended in straight sets. Furthermore, all of those matches went comfortably under 20.5 Games. It’s been the same case with Varvara Gracheva, as none of her last three matches went over 16.5 games. Taking everything into account, we should expect this match to go below this line.
Varvara Gracheva vs Karolina Pliskova Preview
Now that we’ve gotten our predictions out of the way, let’s take a look at these players, and how they’ve fared so far this season.
Varvara Gracheva
Varvara Gracheva dispatched eighth seeded Daria Kasatkina and Lucrezia Stefanini in the first two rounds, both in straight sets. The 22 year old has never been past the third round of a grand slam, and she’ll hope to do so as she goes up against Karolina Pliskova, which doesn’t sound so scare after eliminating the world no.8 earlier in the tournament.
Karolina Pliskova
Like her opponent, Karolina Pliskova hasn’t surrendered a set so far in this tournament. The former World number 1 knocked out Xiyu Wang and Yulia Putintseva in the previous rounds, and she’ll fancy her chances of reaching the round of 16 at the expense of Varvara Gracheva.
