Pera won 63 percent of her total service points and converted on 6 of her 8 break points. Pera got 63 percent of her first serves in play and hit 3 aces. Pera has won 11 straight matches on the main tour, and she’s even more dangerous here with the American crowd behind her. Pera looks to win at least 2 matches for the fourth straight tournament. Pera has won 5 of her last 6 matches on hard court.

There’s no match history between these 2 players.

Krejcikova is a dangerous player when she’s playing well, but she’s been up and down lately and hard to trust. Pera is arguably the hottest player on the women’s side, and you should like her in this tournament, given she’ll get a boost from the crowd. It’s hard to bet against the 27-year-old American, who hasn’t lost a match on the main tour since Wimbledon. 

Give me Pera and the even money.
