WTA Miami 1/8-Finals
Sakkari – Kalinskaya: 25.03.2024 16:00 CEST
H2H: 1-0
Maria Sakkari won in straight sets against Yastremska as we predicted! She is playing amazing tennis this month. After losing in the final at the Indian Wells against Swiatek, Sakkari continued winning! She won both matches here in straight sets and showed us that she is one of the biggest favorites to win it all! Her opponent, Kalinskaya, had a similar tournament so far. She also won both matches in straight sets and showed dominance! At Indian Wells this year, Kalinskaya lost in the 1/16Finals against Paolini already. Other than that, Kalinskaya had the best season of her career so far. She played in the Final in Dubai as a qualifier. Kalinskaya also reached the quarterfinals at the Australian Open! Both players are in great form, and we expect a really tough match for both players. Over games line is set too low, and we believe that they will go over this line easily!
Value bet/ the best odds: over 21.5 games @1.83 @bet365
Cirstea – Collins: 25.03.2024 20:30 CEST
H2H: 0-1
Sorana Cirstea has had a decent tournament thus far. She won against Sloane Stephens easily in the 1/32-Finals. After that, Cirstea won against Kasatkina, also in straight sets, and showed us that she is ready here in Miami! Her opponent, Collins, won against Avanesyan easily as we predicted! Collins was not seeded here, so she had to play one match more. It was in the first round against Pera where she only struggled in the first set. As we already said, Collins needed just one set to adjust her game to this fast surface. Since then, she has not lost a single set. Collins looked unplayable in both matches, and she is one of the dark horses in this tournament! We believe that Collins should be a favorite in this match. Cirstea is also playing well, but Collins is currently on another level! Bookies are predicting this one as an even match, so we have a value bet on Collins winning tonight!
Value bet/ the best odds: Collins to win @1.80 @bet365
Swiatek – Alexandrova: 26.03.2024 01:30 CEST
H2H: 3-1
Iga Swiatek had some big problems against Noskova as we predicted! Noskova showed great tennis and was able to win a set against Swiatek. Before that match, Swiatek did not have any decent challenges and was able to win her matches easily! With this win, Swiatek continued her winning streak and is now on an 8 game winning streak. Her opponent, Alexandrova, is also seeded and only had to play two matches. In her first match, Alexandrova won easily against Vekic. After that, Alexandrova faced Pavlyuchenkova and had to fight for over 2 hours to get past her. Before this tournament, Alexandrova was on a 3 game losing streak and just did not play well. This will be the biggest match for her this season. We believe that Swiatek is still unplayable and even though she lost a set to Noskova, she will not repeat that performance twice in a row. That being said, Swiatek to cover games handicap is a value bet, and we strongly believe that she will cover it easily!
Value bet/ the best odds: Swiatek -6.5 games handicap @1.83 @bet365
