Kawa Faces Bronzetti at Chennai Open After Rain Delay

CHENNAI, India (AP) — Rain washed away day one of the WTA Chennai Open, creating high expectations for fans on day two. On Monday, October 27, Katarzyna Kawa, ranked No. 127, will compete against No. 91 Lucia Bronzetti in the Round of 32.

Bronzetti heads into the match with odds of -285. Kawa, on the other hand, has odds of +210, implying a 74% chance of winning for Bronzetti. Betting odds were updated on Sunday at 2:35 PM ET.

This match is crucial for both players as they aim to advance to the Round of 16. While Bronzetti has faced challenges this season, having won only two out of her last ten matches, she is still considered a favorite. In contrast, Kawa has not performed well since reaching the final in Bogota earlier this year.

“It’s time for me to find my rhythm again,” Bronzetti said, expressing hope for a revival in her performance this week. Meanwhile, Kawa has had a difficult season, and is looking to turn her fortunes around.

The match will take place at the SDAT Tennis Stadium in Chennai, with an outdoor hard surface. The tournament holds WTA 250 ranking points, adding to the significance of the encounter.

With both players eager for a win, anticipation builds for what could be an exciting match. The questions remain: Can Kawa upset the odds, or will Bronzetti regain her form?
