This year’s edition of WTA Wimbledon has been nothing short of incredible. The winner of this year’s tournament at the All-England Club will be a first-time winner, regardless of who wins. Karolina Muchova continues a career-defining year, which has already produced four finals and two titles. Linda Noskova has a title to her name and has also been having a fine year. Someone is going to have a dream tournament, and LWOS has our best bets for the final match. Please share your wagers and picks in the comments. With all that said, let’s get to the analysis.
WTA Wimbledon
Muchova – Noskova: 5:00 EST
H2H: 2-3
Karolina Muchova and Linda Noskova will meet in an all-Czech final at WTA Wimbledon. Muchova has been one of those players for whom much has been expected. Currently ranked at No. 9 in the World, despite only having five total tournament victories, Muchova knows she needs to show that she’s ready to take the next step and become a player who regularly competes for Major titles. She’s been dominant on grass this year, going 11-1, including ten in a row and counting. At the very least, hopefully Muchova has a better performance than last year’s first-time finalist, Amanda Anisimova, who was double-bagled by Iga Swiatek.
Linda Noskova also makes her first Wimbledon final. Noskova has been almost as good as Muchova on grass, going 11-1, also. The only thing separating the two on grass is Muchova’s winning streak. Noskova recently took home her own grass title from WTA Berlin. She flopped out of WTA Bad Homburg in the first round, but has responded with an incredible Wimbledon performance, beating Marta Kostyuk, Elise Mertens, Madison Keys, Sorana Cirstea, and Camila Osorio, just to name a few. Now is her chance to write the next bit of Czech history by taking home the Wimbledon crown.
Best Bet to Make
The betting books have Muchova as a solid favorite in this final. The average is about 1.77-2.07 in favor of Muchova. You can find Muchova as high as 1.83 and Noskova at 2.16, but I think the smart decision here is to pick a name and play it straight. Both Noskova and Muchova can be had for perfectly reasonable odds, and you don’t have to mess around with a correct score bet or an over/under wager that may or may not happen. I tend to think this match is going to go all three sets, but I think Muchova is playing so well right now that she’s going to be too much for Noskova. I’ll take Muchova straight up at 1.83 on Pinnacle
That being said, betting on Muchova winning is a value bet for sure.
