Given the clay court surface and assuming Bencic was the pre-match favorite, a potential bet could have been Bencic to win and over 20.5 games. This assumes a competitive match where Andreeva puts up a fight, pushing the total games beyond a certain threshold. If Andreeva was the favorite or the match was considered a close call, betting on "Both players win at least 1 set" may have been considered.
Without the actual score and pre-match odds, it's difficult to definitively say if the favorite was successful or if the Over/Under bet would have paid out. We need the final score to determine this.

Based on the *assumed* data (and without the actual score), several factors could have influenced the match. Bencic potentially maintained a better serve efficiency, particularly on the first serve. This translates to more free points and control of her service games. While Andreeva's double fault count might have been higher, it shows Andreeva went for the shots more, with the assumption of Andreeva being the underdog.
The clay court surface typically rewards strong returners and players who can construct points patiently. If Bencic was more effective at converting break points, it indicates a greater ability to capitalize on opportunities and apply pressure to Andreeva's serve. Mental toughness and clutch performance on break points are often crucial on clay.
Strategic adjustments during the match would be hard to pinpoint without seeing the live play or detailed commentary. However, players often adjust their serving patterns, court positioning, and shot selection based on their opponent's weaknesses and strengths.
