Clara Burel and Bernarda Pera meet in the quarterfinal of the 2023 tennis Internationaux de Strasbourg. Let’s preview this game and give out a pick and prediction.
Clara Burel Betting Preview
Clara Burel is coming off a straight set win over Kaia Kanepi that took 25 games to decide. In the victory, Burel won 74 percent of her first serve points and 48 percent of her second serve points. Burel won 61 percent of her total service points and converted on 4 of her 11 break points. Burel got 56 percent of her first serves in play and hit 1 ace. Burel has won both matches in straight sets and won her second set tiebreak in 7 points. Burel has to be as confident as she’s been all year. Burel has a chance to win 3 straight matches for the first time since an ITF tournament in October 2021. Burel has split her last 8 matches on clay court.
Bernarda Pera Betting Preview
Bernarda Pera is coming off a straight set win over Kimberly Birrell that took 20 games to decide. In the victory, Pera won 61 percent of her first serve points and 36 percent of her second serve points. Pera won 52 percent of her total service points and converted on 6 of her 17 break points. Pera got 62 percent of her first serves in play and hit 4 aces. Pera has quietly won 5 of her last 8 matches, but she must clean up the double faults if she’s going to make a run at the title. Pera looks to win 3 straight matches for the first time since Cleveland last year. Pera has won 7 of her last 10 matches on clay court.
H2H History
There’s no match history between these 2 players.
Randy’s Pick
You can make a case for either side, as neither player has been able to string wins together, and they can be sloppy with their serve. With that said, Pera is the better player here overall and has shown flashes of getting back on track. Burel hasn’t won 3 straight matches in a year and a half. Burel has some showing and proving to do on the main stage.
Give me Pera to reach the semifinals.
