The matches at Wimbledon continue to come thick and fast. On Friday, there are a few all-top-20 clashes, one of which puts together Belinda Bencic and Anna Kalinskaya. On paper, this is tough to call, but if we look a little closer it becomes very easy to assume that Bencic, who is the higher-ranked player, will get the job done without much of a fuss.
Belinda Bencic is a very, very strong grass-court player, and Anna Kalinskaya knows all about that having twice lost to the Swiss player on this surface before. If we combine this with the fact that Kalinskaya has looked less than fluent in recent grass-court matches, then it becomes relatively easy to fancy Bencic to win with a bit in hand. If you're looking for a value play that is far from unlikely to land, take 'Belinda Bencic -1.5 Game Handicap'.

Our Belinda Bencic vs Anna Kalinskaya Prediction
On rankings, Anna Kalinskaya would have a clear chance here, but if we glance at the early betting, we can see that Belinda Bencic is hugely fancied. There's good reason for that. On all available evidence, Bencic is a much better grass-court player than Kalinskaya. The pair have twice met before on this surface, with Bencic twice winning, coming out on top by at least a two-game margin on both occasions.
The way in which the Swiss player brushed aside a decent player during the last round tells us that she's on her way to getting it done in good style here.
