Arantxa Rus vs Martina Trevisan Prediction: Two Titleholders Clash in Italia

• Prediction: Martina Trevisan Moneyline
• Best Odds: -105
• Bookmaker: Pinnacle
• Stakes: 3/10

Odds updated at 7:00 am UK Time on July 16, 2024. 

Martina Trevisan is from Florence but being back in Italia has still got to be a great feeling coming off a tournament win at Bastad. The Sicilian Capital will host this WTA125 event and the Italian brings a 5-match win streak from her run to the title at Bastad.

I will tell you right away that I am riding the Italian’s momentum to advance to the second round in Palermo, and it is because she was tested in Sweden by some decent players and just kept winning. 

I covered the Bastad semifinal match between Trevisan and Chrico to end last week, and that went exactly as I thought it would. There were plenty of games in that first set to cash our +145 ticket, and the Italian won as she went on to win the entire tourney after taking out Ann Li on Sunday in straight sets.

Arantxa Rus returned home to the Netherlands last week, and all she did was go 5 – 0 en route to The Hague trophy. The issue for me is the quality of opponents the Dutch native rolled through because the list of players features 

Gina Feistel was Rus’ final win to secure The Hague trophy and the Polish National is ranked 321st in the world. Rus couldn’t even sweep Feistel needing three sets to earn the title, and Nastaja Schunk was her semifinal opponent and she is ranked 425th on tour.

I don’t understand why the line setters see this as a coin-flip call because my coin has Trevisan having no problem getting past Rus. At -105, the nickel-juice offer is the play to make on Trevisan in this first-round clash in Palermo.
