Anett Kontaveit and Bernarda Pera meet in the final of the 2022 tennis Hamburg European Open.
Anett Kontaveit is coming off a straight set win over Anastasia Potapova that took 21 games to decide.

Kontaveit won 52 percent of her total service points and converted on 7 of her 10 break points. Kontaveit got 62 percent of her first serves in play and saved 8 of her 13 break points. Kontaveit has won 10 of her last 12 sets overall. Kontaveit looks to win her second title of the year and her seventh title of her career. Kontaveit has won 5 of her last 7 final appearances overall, but is 0-3 in career final trips on clay. Kontaveit has won 6 of her last 9 matches on clay court.
Bernarda Pera is coming off a straight set win over Maryna Zanevska that took 18 games to decide. In the victory, Pera won 73 percent of her first serve points and 56 percent of her second serve points. Pera won 68 percent of her total service points and converted on 4 of her 11 break points. Pera got 70 percent of her first serves in play and faced just 1 break point. Pera has won each of her last 22 sets if you include qualifying matches for Budapest. Pera looks to win her second title of the year and her second title of her career. Pera has 1 career win over a top-10 player, and that came in the 2018 Australian Open. Pera has won 11 straight matches on clay court.
Kontaveit won the only meeting against Pera, which was this year at Wimbledon. Kontaveit won the match in straight sets and 19 games.
Kontaveit should be the favorite or obvious reasons, and she made light work of Pera a few weeks ago. However, Pera has won 11 straight matches on clay and hasn’t dropped a set on the main tour since that Wimbledon match. Kontaveit has also had issues with her serve at times this tournament, and she gives many looks at break points. Pera has a shot here.
I’ll take a stab with the American and assumed plus money.
