LiontipsAryna Sabalenka vs. Jessica Busas Maneiro. Australian Open match prediction and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Sabalenka entered the new season with more than confidence and managed to make a series of six victories since the beginning of the year. Let us recall that Arina won the title in Brisbane, beating Polina Kudermetova in the final (4-6, 6-3, 6-2). In the first round of the Australian Open, the Belarusian tennis player had no problems in the confrontation with Sloane Stephens (6-3, 6-2).
Professional qualities
Arina regularly plays in a very aggressive manner, going on the attack at the first opportunity, trying to hit the ball, using the solid potential of her forehand. Undoubtedly, an important element in her game is a powerful first serve.
Current indicators in the tour
Following the results of the past season, Sabalenka finished first in the world rankings and is striving to retain the title of world No. 1. In Melbourne, she has won the main trophy for two years in a row and is defending her title.

- Arina won five of her six matches with a precise score of 2-0 in sets.
Current form
Busas Maneiro has been making significant progress on the tour and her progress to the second round in Melbourne was not a big surprise. At the start, the Spanish tennis player defeated Kartal in two sets (6-1, 7-6). Recall that before that, she played three matches in 2025, in which she won only one victory in the United Cup against Sakkari (6-2, 6-1).
Professional qualities
Jessica relies more on defensive tennis, likes to play second fiddle, knows how to wait for her opponents to make mistakes, but is always ready to make a clear attacking hit to the spot. The Spaniard does not have a strong serve in her arsenal to seriously complicate Arina life on the return.
Current indicators in the tour
Busas Maneiro had a successful last season and is currently ranked at a high 54th place in the world. At the Australian Open, she could not even get past the qualification until this year.

2.21Tip and bets
Undoubtedly, Busas Maneiro has made decent progress and is already aiming for a place in the top 50. However, it is unlikely that the Spaniard will have serious chances of success in the match against the world number one tennis player today. Jessica does not have a strong serve in her arsenal, and it will be difficult for her to withstand Arina pressure only due to her reliable actions on the back line. We expect a confident victory from the representative of Belarus.
Our prediction is a victory for Sabalenka with a handicap of (-7) games with a coefficient of 1.61
Bet on total
At the start in Melbourne, the Belarusian tennis player lost only five games in a duel against Stephens. It is highly likely that Arina will deal with Busas Maneiro in a similar style today.
The second bet is total under 17 games for 1.74
Bet on the second set
Sabalenka occasionally has difficulties at the start of matches, when she can't get into the game right away. However, Arina has been noticeably improving since then, especially in matches against opponents who are inferior in class. We expect that in the second set she will not give up more than two games to the Spaniard today.
Betting Tip - total games in the second set under 8.5 with odds of 1.61
