LiontipsIga Swiatek vs Ena Shibahara. US Open match prediction and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Swiatek played inconsistently in the pre-Slam tournament in Cincinnati, where she gave up sets to Gracheva and Andreeva, and deservedly lost to Sabalenka in the semi-finals. The start of the US Open also raised many questions. In a tough match with a score of 6-4, 7-6, Iga beat Kamilla Rakhimova. Of course, we should give credit to the Russian tennis player, who fought to the maximum. At the same time, Swiatek herself gave up her serve twice and made 41 unforced errors in two games. Even a solid 30 actively won balls did not cross out such a number of errors.
Professional qualities
Iga has a rich technical arsenal, a powerful forehand stands out. At the same time, the Polish tennis player does not like when her opponents impose their tennis on her, they play ahead.
Current indicators in the tour
Since the beginning of the year, Šwiętek has played 63 matches on tour, winning 56 of them. On hard courts, she has no less impressive numbers – 26 wins in 30 matches, with titles in Doha and Abu Dhabi.
Interesting facts for betting
- In her last five matches, Swiatek has lost sets twice
- In two of the Polish tennis player's previous five matches, tie-breaks were played
Current form
Sibaha is having a great season and took full advantage of the comfortable tournament grid in New York. The Japanese tennis player beat far from the most formidable opponents Zavatskaya, Jones and Hartono in the qualification. In the first round of the main grid, Ena played with the unstable Saville and snatched victory in the decisive tie-break (6-3, 4-6, 7-6).
Professional qualities
Like many Asian tennis players, Shibahara does not stand out for her decent anthropometric data, her height is only 170 cm. The Japanese player achieves her goals due to her endurance and good movement on the back line.
Current indicators in the tour
At 26, Shibahara has only made significant progress this year, climbing to a career-high ranking of No. 217. She has an impressive 33-9 record on hard courts, but it should be noted that she has played mostly in less prestigious tournaments.
Interesting facts for betting
- Shibahara won three of her four victories in New York with a 2-1 score in sets.

1.59Tip and bets
We expect that after a not very confident game in the first round, Šwiętek will work on her mistakes and leave no chance for the Japanese tennis player. Moreover, unlike Rakhimova, Shibahara does not have a strong serve in her arsenal, which will make Iga's task much easier today.
Our prediction is a victory for Swiatek with a handicap of (-6.5) games with a coefficient of 1.55
Bet on total
Without a more or less strong serve, it will be difficult for Shibahara to count on anything more than two or three won games.
The second bet is total under 17 games for 1.94
Bet on the first set
Considering the mistakes of the opening game, we think that today Iga will immediately show her advantage and will not give up more than two games to her opponent in the first set.
Betting Tip - total under 8.5 games in the first set with odds of 1.65
