Coverage of the round of 16 at the WTA Doha continues. Every player in these matches is ranked No. 28 or higher in the World rankings. How will these matches play out? LWOS has the answer and our best bets for these matches. Let us know what you think of our picks and our best in the comments.
WTA Doha
Kalinskaya– Svitolina: Time 17:30
H2H: 0-3
Anna Kalinskaya vs Elina Svitolina will be the fourth time the two meet in action, with all three previous matches going to Svitolina. Kalinskaya hasn’t won more than six games in any of her past matches against Svitolina, and all of their matches have been played in 2024 and 2025. Kalinskaya has seen her matches won against Svitolina go down every year since 2024. She won six games against Svitolina in ’24, then three wins to start ’25, before falling to two wins in their last match played.
Best Bet to Make
As you would suspect, Svitolina is the favorite in this match. Right now, Svitolina is a 1.43-2.77 favorite, though Kalinskaya tops out at 3.09-1.42 underdog. If you were paying attention to the paragraph above, you already know my line of thinking here. Why not grab the under on 18 games for 3.42 and then enjoy the winnings? The highest number of matches these two have played in any game is 18. The second time was 15 games. The last time was 14.
That being said, Over 18 games is a value bet for sure.
Value bet/the best odds: Over 18 games @3.42 @1xBet
Zheng – Rybakina: Time 16:00
H2H: 1-2
Qinwen Zheng and Elena Rybakina will also meet for the fourth time at WTA Doha. They last met at the 2024 WTA Finals, which Zheng won in three sets en route to finishing as tournament runner-up. Rybakina is coming off winning her second Major at the 2026 WTA Australian Open tournament. Zheng is playing in her first tournament of the year, and only her third match. She has gone all three sets with both of her previous partners.
Best Bet to Make
Rybakina is a fairly large favorite on the books. While the average is 1.17-4.89 in favor of Rybakina, Zheng goes as high as 5.66-1.18 on Betfair. Rybakina has only lost one match in 2026, which was the quarterfinals of WTA Brisbane. I wouldn’t mind placing money on Rybakina 2:0 at 1.53 on bet365. Another option is taking the over on 18.5 games at 1.6 on several sites.
That being said, Over 18.5 games is a value bet for sure.
Value bet/the best odds: Over 18.5 games @1.6 @bet-at-home
Andreeva– Mboko: Time 13:00
H2H: 1-0
Mirra Andreeva vs Victoria Mboko is our featured match. These two met for the first time just a few weeks ago in the final at WTA Adelaide, which Andreeva won in straight sets. That loss and a round-of-16 loss to Aryna Sabalenka are Mboko’s only losses in 2026. Andreeva is 10-2, but her last loss came in the round of 16 at the WTA Australian Open last month.
Best Bet to Make
Andreeva is a 1.5-2.55 favorite on the books. The largest line I saw was 1.46-2.75 in favor of Andreeva. If you’re betting on Andreeva in this game, a correct score bet is the way to go. You can get Andreeva 2:0 for 2.25 on bet365. Given their last match was a few weeks ago and Mboko only won four games, you should feel comfortable taking Andreeva in straight sets or taking the under on 20 games for 2.18 on 1xBet.
That being said, Andreeva winning 2:0 is a value bet for sure.
Value bet/the best odds: Andreeva winning 2:0 @2.25 @bet365
