Elina Svitolina<\/a>. All of this makes for a couple of very exciting bets that one could lay down in Pegula\u2019s name.<\/p>\nIndian Wells Best Bets for March 11<\/h2>\n
According to DraftKings, Jessica Pegula is +100 to win the first point on Svitolina\u2019s 1st service game. In what amounts to a 50\/50 tossup, you can double your money. Indian Wells is known for its hard playing surface and Pegula is 15\/4 on hard courts in 2025. While Svitolina isn\u2019t too shabby herself sitting at 8\/3, she\u2019s not had the same consistency as Pegula headed into this match. Svitolina seems to win two matches, then she loses a match. She will follow that up with a win and then two losses. She\u2019s struggling to find consistency and she can be hit or miss on hard courts, at least the last three years. The icing on the cake is that Pegula won 79% and 85% of her first-serve points in her second and third-round matches, respectively.<\/p>\n
That being said, Pegula winning that point is an easy bet to feel confident about.<\/p>\n
Value bet\/best odds<\/em>: Jessica Pegula to win love +1800 @DraftKings<\/p>\nElina Svitolina – Jessica Pegula (-3.5): 03.11.2025 21:00 CEST<\/h4>\n
H2H: 5-2<\/p>\n
As we\u2019ve already established, Pegula has largely had her way with Svitolina in their head-to-head competitions. Given the head-to-head record between the two of them, Pegula winning by more than 3.5 games almost seems a given. Outside of her losses to Svitolina, Pegula has cleared this line in every match they\u2019ve played. It\u2019s playing with house money. Pegula looked dominant against Svitolina in the second round of Doha and the only other time Svitolina has beaten Pegula outside of the Paris Olympics was back in 2021 at Abu Dhabi. This is not a matchup that has traditionally favored Svitolina and I don\u2019t believe in the myth of someone \u201cbeing due\u201d for a win, as that\u2019s not how math works. There\u2019s one horse in this race worth betting on and it isn\u2019t a Ukrainian horse.
\nThat being said, Pegula easily clears the games handicap at -3.5 games.<\/p>\n
Value bet\/best odds:<\/em> Jessica Pegula -3.5 games handicap @-105 @DraftKings<\/p>\nQinwen Zheng (-2.5) – Marta Kostyuk : 03.11.2025 21:00 CEST<\/h4>\n
H2H: 1-1<\/p>\n
This is one of two matches that appears to be a coin flip based on odds and prior results. While their lifetime rivalry sits at a blistering 1-1, we do have at least some indication of how these two matchup when court type is taken into account as Zheng took the last match they played on a hard surface back in 2023 in Montreal. The first-round matchup saw Zheng clean up in three sets while serving twice. Neither of these individuals has set 2025 on fire, both coming in at 6-4 on the year. While Zheng has gone 22-10 on hard surfaces in the past year, Kostyuk sits at a much less impressive 19-13.
\nThat being said, Qinwen Zheng covering is the safest bet.
