Susan Bandecchi vs Aliona Bolsova

Swiss player Susan Bandecchi faces Spain's Aliona Bolsova in the Round of 16 at the ITF Women’s event in Les Franqueses del Valles this Thursday. The match presents an interesting contrast, with Bolsova entering as the favorite according to the odds. Moneyline averages from 134 bookmakers currently list Bolsova at 1.65, while Bandecchi is priced at 2.09.

Bolsova, known for her solid baseline game and experience at higher-level tournaments, will look to control the tempo. Bandecchi, however, has shown she can challenge ranked opponents and will aim to use her aggressive play to disrupt the favorite’s rhythm. The odds reflect Bolsova’s perceived edge, but in ITF events, upsets are always a possibility.

This encounter could hinge on consistency and first-serve performance. With both players competing for a quarterfinal spot, the match promises to be a competitive battle on the hard courts of Les Franqueses del Valles.
