Tennis Predictions and Bets: Katarina Zavackaya vs. Lizett Cabrera

In the upcoming 1/16 finals of the tennis tournament in Palermo, Ukrainian player Katarya Zavatskaya will take on Philippines' Lizette Cabrera. This will mark the first time these two players face each other in Palermo.

Katarya Zavatskaya has had a relatively tough season, struggling to make it to the main draw of tournaments. However, her performance at the championship in Andrezieux-Bouthéon stands out, where she reached the quarterfinals. In contrast, Cabrera has participated in 14 matches this season, winning only 4 of them.

Despite a lower ranking, Zavatskaya is considered the stronger player based on her recent performances. The Ukrainian is currently ranked 144th in the WTA rankings, while Cabrera is ranked 146th. Zavatskaya has a better win-loss record in 2021 compared to Cabrera, having participated in 22 matches and winning 11 of them.

Cabrera has tried her luck in futures tournaments but with no success. On the other hand, Zavatskaya advanced to the first round at Roland Garros. In their previous encounters, Zavatskaya has shown a more consistent performance on the court, as evident in her 1/16 finals loss in Lausanne to Russian Natalya Vikhlyantseva (6/4, 4/6, 0/6).

The odds for a victory for Zavatskaya in the match are 1.68, according to 1xStavka. This favourable position is not surprising, given her more consistent performance on the court. The match between Zavatskaya and Cabrera is not the first time they are meeting in a tournament, but it will be the first time they face each other in Palermo.

Interestingly, Katarya Zavatskaya was previously played by an actress named Anna Bernikova. As the tournament progresses, tennis fans will eagerly anticipate this exciting match between Zavatskaya and Cabrera in the 1/16 finals.
