Iga Swiatek vs Malene Helgo prediction and betting tips on December 30, 2024
Game Prediction
The tennis season has actually started, as strong athletes habitually gathered at the United Cup, to represent their national teams. Our experts have prepared their prediction for the match Iga Swiatek - Malene Helgo.
Iga Swiatek
Polish tennis player needs no introduction, for some time she dominated in women's tennis, but last season she lost the status of the first racket of the world, now she is in second place. There was an unpleasant story with a doping scandal, although the athlete proved that she was not at fault.
At some point last season, Swiatek lost confidence, which immediately affected the results. The athlete is only 23 years old, but she already has a huge experience and many titles under her belt, she remains one of the best in the world, the Polish is capable of returning to the top of the rankings.
Malene Helgo
Even avid tennis fans do not recognize the Norwegian athlete, because she occupies a place only at the beginning of the fifth hundred. Helgo has been on the tour for a long time, she is 25 years old, but she has never finished the season even in the top 300.
At the United Cup, the athlete has already played against the strong Karolina Mukhova, to whom she lost in three sets with the score 2:6, 2:6. No breakthrough is expected from the Norwegian, even though she won three tournaments last season, they were not of a high level.
