LiontipsMaria Bouzkova vs Veronika Kudermetova Betting Odds and Match Prediction WTA Wuhan
Command Analysis
Current Form
Last seen on the court on September 12 in Guadalajara, Buzkova secured a victory over Stefanini in the second round but withdrew from the tournament due to an injury and has not competed since. It is difficult to assess Mari's readiness for the Wuhan tournament. Notably, she played here once in 2019, where she exited in the second round.
Professional Skills
Buzkova has yet to fully showcase her talent, as she struggles with injuries and cannot consistently maintain a high level of play over time. She possesses a powerful serve, a reliable backhand, and can efficiently keep the ball in play at a fast pace. However, the Czech player excels when she is in excellent physical condition and free from any distractions.
Current Tour Stats
Since the beginning of the year, Mari has participated in 39 matches on tour, winning 21 and losing 18. On hard courts, her record stands at a balanced 12 victories and the same number of losses.
Betting Insights
- In six of her last eight matches, Buzkova has played three sets
- In five of her previous matches, no more than nine games were played in the first set
Current Form
Veronika is clearly gaining momentum in the Asian hardcourt series, and her progress in gameplay and results stand out amid numerous challenges this season. In Seoul, Kudermetova reached the semifinals, and in Beijing, she made it to the third round, where she managed to challenge Pegula and won a set (7-6, 1-6, 2-6). It's still early to say she's at her peak form, but overlooking the Russian player would be a mistake.
Professional Qualities
Kudermetova can play quickly, showcasing excellent footwork that allows her to keep pace with many balls at the backline. Additionally, she possesses a strong serve that enables her to earn a substantial amount of easy points. However, it's worth noting that she struggles to adapt her game during matches based on her opponents' actions.
Current Tour Stats
Kudermetova is having her most challenging season in several years, with just 17 wins against 22 losses. However, it's important to highlight that in her last three tournaments, she consistently progressed past at least one round. Currently, she holds a modest 63rd place in the world rankings.
Interesting Betting Facts
- In seven of her last eight matches, Kudermetova played fewer than nine games in the first set.

2.25Tip and bets
In her last three tournaments, Kudermetova has reached at least one round each time. After overcoming several setbacks, there's a noticeable improvement in the Russian player's performance. Buzkova hasn't seen competitive action for nearly a month, making it unlikely that she will display her top tennis today. We believe Veronika has a better chance of winning.
Our prediction is a victory for Kudermetova with odds of 1.80
Bet on Total
The two tennis players have faced each other six times, with only two matches resulting in set exchanges. If Maria is not fully prepared for the tournament, a lengthy battle seems unlikely today.

In their last two encounters, neither player has contested more than nine games in the first set. We don’t believe this trend will be broken today in Wuhan.
