🔍 Match Breakdown

Cocciaretto brings more technical polish and point construction, especially on faster courts where her flatter shots thrive. Her forehand patterns and solid return game give her the edge in controlled rallies.

Lamens counters with endurance and belief—she's survived pressure-packed moments this week and thrives in three-set fights. However, she lacks Cocciaretto’s ability to end points early or dictate off both wings.

If Cocciaretto keeps her composure and controls tempo early, she should avoid Lamens dragging her into a grind. But the Dutchwoman’s resilience makes her a threat if the Italian wavers late in sets.

🔮 Prediction

Lamens will push and rally the crowd, but Cocciaretto’s sharper ball-striking and tactical variety on grass should be enough.

🎯 Pick: Cocciaretto in 2 sets – Likely with one tiebreak or a tight finish (e.g. 7–5, 6–4).

💰 Betting Angles

• ✔️ Cocciaretto ML – Safer play based on form and technique.
• ✔️ Cocciaretto -2.5 Games – She has the tools to create separation if she avoids 3rd set drama.
• ⚠️ Over 20.5 Games (Lean): If Lamens extends a set, expect it to be close.
