Swiatek headlines a star-studded cast at the AGEL Open, which includes four of the World’s Top 5 WTA players – Paula Badosa, defending champion Anett Kontaveit and Maria Sakkari
The field also includes Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina, Seoul champion Ekaterina Alexandrova, former French Open champion Jelena Ostapenko and 2021 US Open champion Emma Raducanu.
Kontaveit won the title in Ostrava last year. The-then No. 30 ranked player defied the WTA tennis odds to reach the final, defeating Sorana Cirstea in the first round and upsetting Paula Badosa, Belinda Bencic, Petra Kvitova and Maria Sakkari on route to the title.
Swiatek favored and several other players listed on AGEL Open Betting odds board as better value plays
It marked her second title of the year and launched her meteoric rise up the rankings to a career-high World No. 2, as she went on to post one of the best win-loss records down the stretch in 2021.
Kontaveit will be hard-pressed to defend her title in Ostrava. With Swiatek favored and several other players listed on AGEL Open Betting odds board as better value plays, a lot would have to go her way.
Swiatek Will Face Stiff Competition
Swiatek may be the favorite according to the AGEL Open Betting Odds, but it won’t be a cakewalk. Tennis fans can expect a stellar tournament with captivating tennis matches and a lot of intrigue.
As it is, Swiatek is going to face stiff competition from several players in the draw that have a legitimate stake in the title too.
Sakkari was a finalist last year and she’ll be looking to make another run for the title. Brazilian Haddad-Maia is having a breakout season winning two titles during the grass-court swing and reaching the Toronto final.
Elsewhere, Russia’s Daria Kasatkina and Jelena Ostapenko lurk as dangerous floaters that could shake things up, if not win it all. Another player to watch is Raducanu, who is looking to find form as she works her way back up the rankings.
Petra Kvitova, Karolina Pliskova and Barbora Krejcikova are just some of the best of the Czech contingent that will have plenty of support from the crowds, which could be deciding.
