ANNA KAROLINA SCHMIEDLOVA VS ALIAKSANDRA SASNOVICH PREDICTION

Anna Karolína Schmiedlova certainly hasn’t done it the easy way this week, with the Slovakian having been taken to a deciding set in all three of her matches in Budapest. However, she has stepped up her game when it has mattered most, winning those three deciding sets convincingly.

It’s been a similar tale for Aliaksandra Sasnovich, with the Belarusian playing just one set fewer than her opponent in wins over Viktoriya Tomova (the second seed), Maria Timofeeva and Suzan Lamens.

In terms of the head-to-head score between these two, it’s a fairly one-sided rivalry with Sasnovich winning six of their seven meetings, including all four on clay. Indeed, the last four meetings have all been on this surface, including at the Italian Open earlier this year. The Belarusian appears to have the measure of her opponent, so the smart money is on her progressing to the final.
