The WTA Queen’s Club action continues. While some women compete in the Netherlands, others compete at The Queen’s Club. Here are my best bets for the next round of action. Let me know in the comments if you agree or disagree.
WTA Queen’s Club
Navarro – Haddad-Maia: Time 11:00
H2H: 2-3
The rivalry between Emma Navarro and Beatriz Haddad-Maia is as hot as ever. While Haddad-Maia now leads the rivalry 3-2, the ladies have met twice already this year, with Navarro taking the first match and Haddad-Maia taking the second. The last match went three sets, and the ladies have played those matches so recently that both matches took place within their last ten matches. Navarro is 4-6 in those ten matches, and Haddad-Maia is 5-5.
Best Bet to Make
While Navarro is in poorer form, she is listed as the favorite in this match. Weirdly, they have her as the favorite when Haddad-Maia has more experience and a better record on grass, as she’s 33-18 to Navarro’s 14-6 on grass. I think Haddad-Maia is the safer pick since she’s playing better, has the better head-to-head, and has the better record on grass.
That being said, Haddad-Maia winning is a value bet for sure.
Value bet/ the best odds: Haddad-Maia winning @2.4 @Unibet
Kartal – Anisimova: Time 15:30
H2H: 0-0
Sonay Kartal and Amanda Anisimova have never played before. Anisimova enters the match coming off a Round of 16 loss at the French Open to Aryna Sabalenka. Kartal never made it past the second round of the French Open. In her last ten matches, Anisimova is a quality 6-4. Kartal is 5-5 and has struggled to put together her best tennis lately. While she does have an impressive win over Darya Kasatkina in the first round, Anisimova represents a step up in competition.
Best Bet to Make
There’s a strong reason that Anisimova is a favorite, and I agree. When you look at the quality of her year in 2025, deep runs can be found all over the map. In addition to a tournament victory in Doha, Anisimova has made two round of 16s, two quarterfinals, and a semifinal. Kartal would have to play a brand of tennis we haven’t seen from her since Indian Wells. There’s no need to overthink this one, as Anisimova should cruise to victory.
That being said, Anisimova winning is a value bet for sure.
Value bet/ the best odds: Anisimova winning @1.56 @1xBet
Shnaider – Boulter: Time 11:00
H2H: 1-0
Diana Shnaider and Katie Boulter have only met once before, and it was in Hong Kong last year. Shnaider took that match in straight sets and won the tournament. Boulter is looking for some revenge, and she’s in fine form while doing so. Though Boulter is already an impressive 7-3 in her last ten matches, she jumps to an even more impressive 7-1 in her last eight matches. The only loss during that time was at the French Open to Madison Keys. Shnaider is also 7-3 in her last ten, but she’s only 5-3 in her last eight matches.
Best Bet to Make
The books have Shnaider as the favorite, and I tepidly agree. When you look at Boulter’s record on grass, it’s a bit more impressive at 52-33 than Shnaider’s is at 11-4, but they both won their only match on grass this year. Boulter also has the experience of knowing what she did wrong last time and the benefit of form. That said, Shnaider’s form only dips if you narrow the window within those ten matches, and both ladies have largely put forth quality tennis lately. Given that she’s nearly a full point favorite depending on which book you use, I would say Shnaider is the better bet.
That being said, Shnaider winning is a value bet for sure.
