Kudermetova enters having won six of her last ten matches, including victories over Liumila Samsonova and Ekaterina Alexandrova. Wang is 5-5 in her last ten and that includes a semifinal in Singapore and reaching the third round of Indian Wells. They played each other in this very tournament in 2024 and Wang took it in straight sets.<\/p>\n<h4>Best Bet to Make<\/h4>\n<p>The bookies have Kudermetova winning this match and I don&#8217;t agree. Kudermetova isn&#8217;t on her best run right now and while Wang may have a less impressive record in 2025, her current run of form is taking her deeper in tournaments than Kudermetova. She also beat her soundly here two years ago, has a higher winning percentage in service games, and has converted a higher percentage of break points with 47.7% to 45.3% respectively.<\/p>\n<p>That being said, <strong>Wang winning\u00a0is a value bet for sure.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Value bet\/ the best odds:\u00a0 Wang winning @+2.01 @betfair<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Gracheva \u2013 Parks: Time 16:00<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>H2H: 0-0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is the first-ever meetup between Varvara Gracheva and Alycia Parks, but it couldn&#8217;t come at a worse time for Gracheva. Not only is she 4-6 in her last ten matches, she&#8217;s also 4-5 on hard courts in 2025. Conversely, Parks is absolutely on fire. She&#8217;s 7-3 in her last ten ten and 10-5 on hard courts in 2025. Gracheva loves to play defensive tennis and Parks is a big fan of the power game. The form of Parks combined with the harder playing surface makes Parks&#8217; aggressive nature the favored playing style here and also the match favorite.<\/p>\n<h4>Best Bet to Make<\/h4>\n<p>The bookers have Parks being a solid favorite and I definitely agree. Parks seems eager to prove that she can perform at a higher level and most of the elements seem to favor her. She&#8217;s also playing some pretty consistent tennis and I value consistency over just about anything.<\/p>\n<p>That being said, <strong>Parks winning<\/strong><strong>\u00a0is a value bet<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Value bet\/ the best odds:\u00a0 Parks winning @-140 @DraftKings<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a  id=\"Mf9M4yvYRdxo-KmxClqV9g\" class=\"gie-single\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/2203901468\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'Mf9M4yvYRdxo-KmxClqV9g',sig:'Fgb821hrfvPmHxc_LZs9UfQ7y6oTw8EXzmCDVAbYBQA=',w:'594px',h:'371px',items:'2203901468',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<p><strong>Osorio-Serrano \u2013 Mboko: Time 16:00<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>H2H: 0-0<\/strong><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Have you ever looked at a prediction and wondered how someone came up with their answer? That&#8217;s how I feel when I look at this matchup with <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/tennis\/2019\/04\/12\/maria-camila-osorio-serrano-here-to-stay\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Camila Osorio<\/a> picked as the favorite. Not only is Victoria Mboko entering this match coming off a tournament victory at ITF Porto 6, She also made the final of ITF Manchester. She&#8217;s 9-1 in her last ten matches and she&#8217;s a perfect 10-0 on hard court. Osorio-Serrano is a respectable 6-4 in her last ten, but she&#8217;s also 3-3 on hardcourts and not having the best 2025.<\/p>\n<h4>Best Bet to Make<\/h4>\n<p>The bookies have Osorio winning and I do not agree. Not only is Mboko having a better run of form, she plays her best tennis on the hard court, and she&#8217;s won 24 of her 29 games on the surface. The intangibles in this match suggest an upset and this is the best one on the card if you&#8217;re inclined to pick one.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Value bet\/ the best odds:\u00a0 Mboko winning @+112 @FanDuel<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Main Photo Credit: Geoff Burke-USA TODAY Sports<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WTA Miami Round 1 Kudermetova \u2013 Wang: Time 16:00 H2H: -1 Veronika Kudermetova vs Xinyu Wang is one of the better matches in tomorrow&#8217;s first round.
