Winner: Suzanne Lammers
Since their last meeting, Suzanne Lammers has significantly improved her game, winning with a clear score of 6-4, 6-0.

Odds:
Recommendation: Suzanne Lammers to win.
Suzanne Lammers is the clear favorite in this matchup. The Dutch player has been in impressive form recently, winning her first major title and showing excellent consistency. Greet Minnen, while a strong competitor, has struggled with inconsistency and will likely find it difficult to keep up with Lammers’ powerful game. Given Lammers’ current momentum and form, we expect her to secure a confident win.
Our prediction is Lammers to win with a -3.5 handicap at odds of 1.91.
