There’s a reason that the books have Svitolina as a favorite. Svitolina is 9-1 in her last ten matches with a tournament victory at Rouen and back-to-back wins at the Billie Jean King Cup. Sakkari is 6-4 but hasn’t won a singles tournament since 2023, and even then, she only won a single tournament. There aren’t a whole lot of reasons to bet on Sakkari in this match, but she always plays Svitolina tough and close, so I don’t think Sakkari taking a set is out of the question.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n That being said, Svitolina <\/strong><\/span>winning @2:1 is a value bet for sure.<\/b><\/p>\n Value bet\/ the best odds:\u00a0 Svitolina 2:1 @4.1 @Interwetten<\/b><\/p>\n H2H: 0-0<\/b><\/p>\n Moyuka Uchijima and Ekaterina Alexandrova meet for the first time in Spain. Alexandrova has made at least the semifinals of her last two tournaments and boasts an 8-2 record in her last ten matches. Not to be outdone, Uchijima is also 8-2 in her last ten matches, but her best showing during that time is a quarterfinal appearance in Rouen. Both ladies perform well on clay; Uchijima is 72-32 all-time, and Alexandrova checks in at 183-114 on clay for her career.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Best Bet to Make<\/strong><\/p>\n The books have Alexandrova as the favorite, but they don’t hate Uchijima. I agree that Alexandrova is the favorite here, but I don’t think moneyline is the way to go. Most of the bets concerning a correct score aren’t worth touching, but Alexandrova 2:0 is mouthwatering. Uchijima has been playing really well, and she was not expected to get past Jessica Pegula in the third round. Alexandrova is playing too well and is too good on clay for her to allow a second upset.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n That being said, <\/span>\u00a0Alexandrova winning 2:0 is a value bet for sure.<\/b><\/p>\n Value bet\/ the best odds:\u00a0 Alexandrova winning 2:0 @2.00 @Bet365<\/b><\/p>\n H2H: 1-2<\/b><\/p>\n Anastasia Potapova and Marta Kostyuk met three times before Madrid. Kostyuk dominated most outings, but Potapova took their second match in Birmingham, UK. This will be their first match-up on clay. Both ladies have nearly identical career records on clay. Kostyuk is 75-36, Potapova is 73-39, and neither lady has lost on clay in 2025. Potapova is 6-4 in her last ten matches, Kostyuk is 7-3.<\/span><\/p>\n The books have Potapova as a slight favorite, and I agree. Potapova has had a lot of surface-level success as of late, but she hasn’t put together any deep runs outside of her tournament victory in Romania back in February. Kostyuk is also looking for a bit of consistency and would take any tournament victory she could get her hands on. Due to recent form, I think Kostyuk might be able to pull the upset here. The line might not blow your socks off, but Potapova moneyline is probably the safe call here.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n That being said, Potapova winning is<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0a value bet for sure.<\/b><\/p>\n Value bet\/ the best odds:\u00a0 Potapova winning <\/strong><\/span>@1.8 @Bet365<\/b><\/p>\n Main Photo Credit: Mike Frey-USA TODAY Sports<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Round of 16 of the WTA Madrid Open was supposed to have been played on April 28th, but a massive blackout in Spain and Portugal has left the tournament and its competitors in limbo for now.
