Tina Smith vs Fiona Ferro Tips

Ferro ha snot played on the surface since March and as Tina has won twice from her last 3 outings on the surface in November, defeating higgher ranked Siskova in last round, I fancy her to edge past Ferro here.

Fiona Ferro is more experienced and technically stronger than Tina Smith. She is likely to control rallies and key points, giving her a clear advantage to win this match convincingly.

Tina Smith arrives after a win against an opponent ranked at 285 in her most recent match which was a match in this Tournament, she now meets an even lower ranked opponent, an opponent who hasn't played any Tennis on this surface since March of this year so Fiona may need time to find her rhythm on this surface. Tina has a winning chance based on her most recent performance.

Ferro’s experience and ability to dominate rallies should allow her to take both sets without dropping one, even if Smith puts up some resistance.

Tina Smith to win 2??'1 looks the value bet at 4.50. Ranked 316, she has been beaten in two ITF Q-finals this year. She can win in three sets against Fiona Ferro. Ferro is ranked 422 and had an eight-month break before returning in March. She has shown form, beaten in a WTA qualifying final and two ITF qualifying finals. It should be a close match, but Smith may just miss out.

Smith has shown she can push higher-ranked opponents, with several three-set matches this season. Ferro, however, has closed out deciding sets effectively, winning 62% of them in 2025. This suggests Ferro could drop a set but ultimately prevail 2-1 thanks to her experience.

On their best form, each player has a chance of winning this first set but I'll take a chance it's Tina to win the first set , i think Tina already has an advantage because she has played more Tennis on this surface over the last few days and weeks.

Her experience and stronger baseline game make her likely to start the match confidently and take the opening set against Tīna Smith.

This means Smith is given a 1.5-game advantage for betting purposes, which accounts for her underdog status while keeping the match competitive against Fiona Ferro.

Tina Smith looked good when winning her most recent match on this surface and that was a win against a better player than the one she meets today, i think Tina Smith finds this match easier than the last.
