LiontipsVeronika Kudermetova vs. Xin Yu Wang: Predictions and Betting Odds for the WTA Beijing Match on September 27, 2024
Command Analysis
Current Form
After a prolonged slump, Kudermetova has finally found success at a tournament. Last week in Seoul, Veronika reached the semifinals. However, it's too early to conclude that the crisis is over, as she only managed to perform at a decent level in three matches in South Korea, defeating Zhang Shuai, Samsonova, and Tomova.
Professional Skills
Kudermetova has a diverse technical toolkit and strives to follow a well-defined game plan in every match. However, she sometimes struggles to adapt during matches, as her straightforward style can hinder her ability to fully showcase her talents.
Current Tour Statistics
Veronika's season statistics are weak, with 16 wins and 21 losses. On outdoor hard courts, her performance is also disappointing at +8 -12. She currently ranks 39th in the world, despite having previously reached the top 10.
Interesting Betting Facts
- In her last six matches, more than 10 games were played in the first set
- Five of Veronika's last six matches ended without a share of won sets
Current Form
Xin Yu Wang approaches her home debut in Beijing after exiting in the early rounds of her last three hard court tournaments. This time, the Chinese player aims to break this unfortunate streak. In the first round, Xin Yu Wang convincingly defeated Hontama with a score of 6-1, 6-3.
Professional Qualities
Xin Yu Wang is known for her agility on the court, managing to chase down challenging shots from the baseline. However, she lacks a powerful serve, which impacts her comfort level on fast surfaces.
Current Tour Stats
Like many of her compatriots, the Chinese player excels on hard courts. Since the beginning of the year, she has achieved 14 wins and an equal number of losses on this surface. As of now, Xin Yu Wang is ranked 50th in the world standings.

2.24Tip and bets
This year, the female tennis players faced off on hard courts in Miami, where Shin Yu Wang claimed victory in straight sets, losing just five games throughout the match. Kudermetova recently had a successful tournament in Seoul after a long dry spell; however, it may be premature to suggest that her struggles are behind her. We believe that bookmakers may be slightly undervaluing the Chinese player.
Our prediction is a win for Shin Yu Wang at odds of 1.99.
Total Bet
There is no clear favorite in this matchup, and it seems reasonable to expect a closely contested battle with potential set exchanges. Notably, in three of the last six matches, the Chinese player participated in three sets.
The second bet is for a total of over 21 games at a 1.83 odds.
First Set Bet
In the last six matches involving Kudermetova, the first set consistently features more than nine games. We see no reason why this trend would end today.
Prediction - total over 9.5 games in the first set with odds of 2.15
