Betting Predictions
Over 1st Set Games
The prediction for over 6.5 games in the first set stands at 61.40. Given both players’ history of engaging rallies and ability to extend points, it is likely that the first set will see a higher game count. Kulambayeva’s resilience and Wei’s tactical play could lead to extended exchanges, making this a favorable bet.
Under 1st Set Games
The under 6.5 games option is priced at 53.90. While shorter sets are possible, especially if either player manages to capitalize on early breaks, the odds reflect the expectation of a more drawn-out first set due to both players’ defensive skills.
Tie Break in 1st Set (No)
The odds for no tie break in the first set are set at 92.50. Considering both players’ ability to hold serve under pressure, it is plausible that the first set could be decided by a decisive break rather than reaching a tiebreak.
Tie Break in Match (No)
With odds at 85.30 for no tie break in the match, this suggests that one player might dominate enough to avoid tiebreaks altogether. Given Kulambayeva’s previous performances where she has shown strong mental fortitude, she could potentially close sets without requiring a tiebreak.
Under 2.5 Sets
The prediction for the match concluding in under 2.5 sets is priced at 72.30. This indicates a likelihood of one player taking control early and finishing swiftly. Kulambayeva’s ability to maintain consistency could see her winning in straight sets.
Total Games 3-Way (Under 22)
With odds at 60.50, betting on under 22 total games suggests an expectation of quick sets with limited rallies. This scenario could occur if either player secures early breaks and maintains their lead throughout the match.
Total Games 2-Way (Under 22.5)
The under 22.5 total games bet at 61.20 reflects a similar expectation as the previous prediction but allows for slightly more games, acknowledging the possibility of longer exchanges typical of both players’ styles.
