Pre-match view
Timofeeva brings the better hard-court form and a title from Porto into this first round, but she arrives on a short turnaround and her winning run has come against lower-ranked players, while Vidmanova has not played since 13 September.
Timofeeva is the likelier winner, though 1.6 asks for more than that edge justifies, and her set-one, set-two and 2-0 prices are no better. The one price with something behind it is the match going to a deciding set at 2.3.
