🔍 Match Breakdown

Bouzkova’s counterpunching game and footspeed make her a nightmare to finish off in long rallies—especially on clay. Her structured, percentage-based tennis matches perfectly with Bogotá’s slower conditions.

Kawa, however, brings unpredictability. With her topspin-heavy groundstrokes and variety, she could cause problems for Bouzkova if she hits her spots early and avoids extended rallies.

This will likely be a clash of rhythm: Kawa wants to attack early, while Bouzkova aims to absorb pressure and grind her down.

🔮 Prediction

Pick: Marie Bouzkova in 2 sets

Kawa can threaten with her spin and flair, but Bouzkova’s proven Bogotá success and elite consistency make her the more reliable pick in this quarterfinal.
