Our Aryna Sabalenka vs McCartney Kessler Prediction
McCartney Kessler gives a solid showing in a losing effort against Aryna Sabalenka.
Sabalenka should still win this match in straight sets, but Kessler has an opportunity to win a few games on her serve and cover the spread at +5.5 games.
Kessler delivered a serving clinic in her win over Oliynykova, winning 94 percent of her first serves and 62 percent of her second balls.
As expected, Sabalenka demolished Kestovic with relative ease, overwhelming the Serb across all fronts. The Belarusian must carry over this ruthless form into her match against Kessler if she wants to score another easy win. After all, Sabalenka started her grass-court campaign in a wobbly form after dropping 12 service games across three matches in Berlin.
Sabalenka should cruise through to another straight-set victory here, but Kessler will put up a decent fight against the world’s No.1, especially if she can hold most of her serves once again.
Our betting prediction for Aryna Sabalenka vs. McCartney Kessler: McCartney Kessler +5.5 games.
