Maria Carle vs Katarzyna Kawa Prediction Buenos Aires 125 Tennis Picks 11/30/24

Marle Carle is ranked 92nd in the WTA rankings and has a great record at the Argentina Open in Buenos Aires. She was the runner-up last year, losing to Laura Pigossi in the final, and a semifinalist in 2022.

The 24-year-old loves competing in her own backyard and has once again impressed in her run to the last four this week. Carle has not dropped a set and lost a combined 11 games in three matches. 

Her most accomplished performance at the tournament was in the quarterfinal when she beat countrywoman Julia Riera 6-1, 6-0 in 71 minutes, winning 60% of service points and 71% of return points.

Katarzyna Kawa Preview

Katarzyna Kawa had one foot out of the tournament in her quarterfinal match against Darja Semenistaja. The World No. 296 is the ultimate comeback queen this week in Buenos Aires, winning all three matches in three sets. 

She overcame seventh seed Semenistaja despite coming within a game of defeat. Kawa trailed 3-6, 1-5, but remarkably won six straight games to steal the second set. 

And the drama continued in the third set when Kawa came back from 1-4 down to win 6-4.

Maria Carle vs Katarzyna Kawa Prediction

Kawa has spent at least seven hours on the court this week, which pales in comparison to Maria Carle, who has accumulated about half that playing time at the Argentina Open. The odds are heavily leaning towards a Carle victory. She has been dominant, brushing aside her opponents with ease and keeping up with her great track record of reaching a semifinal in Buenos Aires in each of the last three years.

But not many people will be sleeping on Kawa here after her sensational comeback against Semenistaja. Yes, the Pole will probably have no legs to win this match outright, but given her endurance, she could cover the games spread.
