The forecast for the match between Priscilla Hon and Anna Blinkova promises to be interesting. Hon took over two hours to complete the first round against the home court favorite Chong, showing her determination and readiness to fight. The final score was 7-5, 7-5 in favor of Hon. On the other hand, Blinkova played against Putintseva and when the score was 4-6, 6-2, 1-5 in favor of Blinkova, she decided to withdraw from the match. However, there is a significant difference in class between the players, and a strong battle is not expected in this encounter. Therefore, our prediction is for the total number of games to be under 20.5. We expect the match to end with a total of fewer than 20.5 games. Taking into account both Hon's determination and Blinkova's withdrawal from the previous match, we still believe that Hon should easily handle Blinkova, and the match will not be a long one. Thus, the total under in terms of games seems like a logical prediction. This forecast was prepared by Viktor Maevsky and is available for review on STAVKA TV.
