LiontipsAnna Kalinskaya - Jessica Pegula: betting tip and bets on the Miami WTA match
Command Analysis
Current form
Throughout the season, Kalinskaya has not demonstrated the same game that she had last year. This is largely due to health problems, as she has withdrawn from matches twice this year. Nevertheless, Anna started in Miami with a very confident victory over Uchijima (6-1, 6-3), thereby interrupting a series of four defeats in a row.
Professional qualities
Kalinskaya tries to gain an advantage over her rivals at the expense of a high pace. She either forces them to make mistakes, or she ends the prank with backhands. However, this kind of tennis brings her success only when she is in optimal playing shape and when nothing bothers her. There is clearly such a moment in Anna's career right now.
Current indicators in the tour
Kalinskaya showed her best result this year in Singapore, where she made it to the semifinals. In general, her performance is very weak: four wins in ten matches. Anna has already dropped back to 33rd place in the ranking.
Interesting facts for betting
- Kalinskaya has lost four of the last five matches in the round.
- In two face-to-face matches, Anna lost to Pegula.
Current form
In early March, Pegula won the title of a minor tournament in Austin. Next, in Indian Wells, she reached the 1/8 finals. Next up is Miami, where Jessica has traditionally performed successfully, with two semi-finals and last year's quarterfinals to her credit. The American played the opening match confidently enough, 6-4, 6-4 defeated Bernardo Peru.
Professional qualities
Jessica is constantly targeted for attack, although she does not stand out for outstanding anthropometric data. Let's note that she has a well-placed forehand, with which she wins a lot of points.
Current indicators in the tour
Pegula firmly holds its position in the top 10 of the world ranking, currently occupies the fourth place. Since the beginning of the year, the American has played 21 matches in the tour, with 16 of them winning.
Interesting facts for betting
- In 15 of the 16 winning matches since the beginning of the year, Pegula has won with an accurate score of 2-0 in sets.
- In only one of Pegula's five previous matches, more than nine games were played in the second game.
Trends
Bet Effectiveness of sets: 1>2
According to this scenario, events unfolded on the court in three of Kalinskaya's last five matches.
2.25Bet 2nd set: total less than 9.5 games
This bet has been successful in four of Pegula's last five matches.
1.51Tip and bets
For the first time in a long time, Kalinskaya was able to win a landslide victory. However, her opponents were far from the most formidable Uchijima, who cannot respond with powerful punches according to the manner of her game. Today, Anna has a difficult test of strength – a duel against Pegula, who has no problems with her current form, who has beaten the Russian twice in her career. We believe that at the moment Kalinskaya is not ready to play on equal terms with the representatives of the top 10.
Our prediction is that Pegula will win with a handicap of (-4) games with a coefficient of 1.81
Bet on the total
Since the beginning of the year, Pegula has won 16 matches in the round, and in 15 cases she won with an accurate score of 2-0 in sets. We do not think that Anna can put up a decent resistance to Jessica at the moment.
The second bet is a total of less than 21 games in 1.79
Bet on the first set
It should be noted that in four of the last five matches of Pegula, more than nine games were played in the first set. We expect that there will still be some intrigue at the start, after which the American will confidently put the squeeze on her opponent.
The betting tip is that the total number of games in the first set is more than 9.5 with a coefficient of 2.23
