This is a first round matchup from Wimbledon between Alexandra Dulgheru from Romania and Kristina Mladenovic from France.
They have met two times and the score is 1-1.
I am a bit surprised that Mladenovic is such a big favorite today in this match because I actually believe it's going to be quite close. Sure Mladenovic has had the better run in the past month and her game is more suited for this surface but she never managed to get past the first round here so that might be a problem for her. Also Dulgheru has had some good results this year also and I think she surely has the game to win today.
I think the key for Dulgheru is to try to change the pace of the match as often as she can and that will surely be in her advantage. She will have a hard time on Mladenovic's service which is pretty good but I think she is the more versatile player and she can easily take her opponent out of her comfort zone.
To me this represents to much value and I don't consider Dulgheru to be such a big underdog.
