Command Analysis

Aryna Sabalenka

Sabalenka last played in Berlin on June 22. Then, due to shoulder problems, she was unable to finish the match against Kalinskaya and was forced to miss Wimbledon. Arina also refused to participate in the Olympics. It is difficult to judge in forecasts how ready the Belarusian tennis player is for the start in Washington. It should be noted that she has played in this tournament only once in her entire career, back in 2017, when she was unable to get past the 1/8 final round.

Kamilla Rakhimova

Rakhimova, against the backdrop of her recent numerous failures, has left the top 100 and currently occupies only 105th place in the world rankings. The Russian tennis player clearly intends to perform as well as possible in Washington, and so far she has been doing very well. Kamilla started in the qualification, got the necessary playing practice on hard, which definitely helped her beat Katie Wolynets in the first round with a score of 6-4, 6-3.

2.25Tip and bets
Despite the lack of game practice and problems with her shoulder, bookmakers clearly give Sabalenka an advantage. We don’t think that Arina will immediately demonstrate her best and crush her opponent. Moreover, Kamilla has already managed to warm up on the local courts.
Our prediction is a victory for Rakhimova with a handicap of (+7) games for a coefficient of 1.60 in the OLIMPBET bookmaker
Bet on total
The Belarusian tennis player clearly needs hard court practice now and it is unlikely that she will win by a landslide. We think that the tennis players will play at least 18 games.
The second bet is total over 17.5 games for 1.72 on the Fonbet bookmaker line
Bet on the second set
It should be noted that in the two previous matches involving Sabalenka, more than nine games were played in the second set, which we do not rule out today.
Forecast - total games in the second set over 9.5 with odds of 3.05
