Marie Bouzkova vs Lucrezia Stefanini Tips

Marie Bouzkova is the number 5 seed at this tournament and she can win today with Lucrezia Stefanini 7-6 in the last 13 matches.

I think it's been a while since Bouzkova has really clicked on this surface, and I priced up Stefanini at around 3.00-3.25, for she looks a definite value play here.

In front of a partisan home crowd, I would expect Bouzkova (ranked 47) to do the business pretty quickly here in Prague. The 27-year-old Czech, who won this very tournament in 2022, looks to be getting back to her best after myriad injury issues. She won her only prior H2H with Stefanini 6-2, 6-1 in Guadalajara (similar conditions) last year. The 27-year-old Italian is just 3-5 on hard courts vs. top 100 players in the last 12 months (0-3 vs. top 50 players, 2 of those defeats in straight sets).

Marie Bouzkova is number 47 in the world rankings and she is expected to dominate this match today with Lucrezia Stefanini number 151.
