LiontipsKarolina Mukhova - Victoria Azarenka: prediction and bets on the Miami WTA match
Command Analysis
Current form
Mukhova consistently holds a decent level, she has overcome at least two rounds in the last three tournaments. In Indian Wells, in previous competitions, Carolina passed Kocharetto and Sinyakova without losing sets, but frankly failed the game against Schwentek (1-6, 1-6). Ahead of the start in Miami, where the Czech tennis player played three times and never made it past the third round.
Professional qualities
The Czech is a versatile tennis player, and she doesn't really have any weaknesses in her game. However, frequent injuries prevent her from reaching her full potential.
Current indicators in the tour
Since the beginning of the year, Carolina has played 17 matches in the tour, in which she won 11 and suffered six defeats. At the moment, she is the 14th racket of the world and is striving to return to the top 10. Mukhova did not perform in Miami a year ago, so there is an opportunity to replenish her piggy bank with rating points.
Interesting facts for betting
- In three consecutive matches with Mukhova, there was no exchange of won sets.
- More than nine games were played in the first set in three of Carolina's four previous matches.
Current form
Azarenka is having a weak season, she has never won more than one round of the draw in any of the tournaments she has played. In Miami, Victoria started from the first round and confidently defeated Angelina Kalinina (6-3, 6-1). It should be noted that in this tournament she needs to defend the ranking points for last year's semi-final.
Professional qualities
Victoria has a great reception and a great backhand. She doesn't always have stability on her serve, it's noticeable that Azarenka hasn't had enough speed lately, but experience and the ability to read her opponents' game often help.
Current indicators in the tour
The Belarusian tennis player has won four out of nine matches since the beginning of the year. She is ranked 32nd in the world rankings, and if she does not defend her points from last year's semi-final, she will face a significant drop in the rankings.

In two personal meetings, events on the court developed according to this scenario
2.25Tip and bets
Mukhova is performing noticeably better for the season and is rightfully the favorite among bookmakers. Carolina will have the advantage in speed, in the game on their serve. Azarenka, in general, is not spending this year in the best way, and she is far from playing her best game to win on equal terms against the Czech.
Our betting tip is that Mukhova will win with a handicap (-3) of the game with a coefficient of 1.65
Bet on the total
We do not expect more than 21 games in the upcoming meeting. Azarenka is too unconvincing on her serve, and Caroline is unlikely to allow her to constantly return to the game due to breaks.
The second bet is a total of less than 21.5 games for 1.88
Bet on the second set
It should be noted that in the last three matches with Mukhova in the second game, more than nine games were not played. We expect that the Czech tennis player will confidently put the squeeze on Victoria in this segment of the game.
The betting tip is that the total number of games in the second set is less than 9.5 with a coefficient of 1.61
