How will the game go and what are the best bets to choose? - you can find out from our betting tip
Command Analysis
Aryna Sabalenka
BelarusCurrent form
Sabalenka had a shoulder injury that prevented her from playing at Wimbledon. At her first hard court tournament in Washington, Arina managed to reach the semi-finals, but did not demonstrate a stable game. In Toronto, the Belarusian tennis player also did not fully justify hopes and betting tips, as she lost to Anisimova in the quarter-finals (4-6, 2-6).
Professional qualities
Sabalenka tries to demonstrate super-attacking tennis. Fortunately, she has a powerful serve and an impressively powerful forehand in her arsenal. However, all of this weaponry of Arina's only works when she is in shape and in good shape.
Current indicators in the tour
Sabalenka had an excellent start to the season, made her mark in the final in Brisbane and won the Australian Open title. There was no such stability after that. Overall, Arina has 18 wins in 24 matches on hard since the beginning of the year.
Interesting facts for betting
- Since returning to hard, Sabalenka has played six matches and in the last four, no more than nine games were played in the second set.
- In the three previous matches involving Arina, the minimum number of sets was played
Elisabetta Cocciaretto
ItalyCurrent form
Cocciaretto had an unsuccessful performance at the Olympic Games, losing to Schneider in the first round. The Italian's switch to hard courts resulted in a first-round loss to Krueger in Toronto (3-6, 2-6). Only in Cincinnati did she manage to break her short losing streak with a win over Montgomery (7-5, 4-6, 6-3).
Professional qualities
Cocharetto's tennis is more suited to clay, where she can calmly develop her combinations, tactically outplay her opponents in long rallies. On fast surfaces, such a strategy does not work, there is not enough power in the shots, the serve is far from the most difficult.
Current indicators in the tour
At the moment, Cociaretto is ranked 66th in the world, although she used to be ranked 29th in the world. On hard courts, she has nine wins in 17 matches played, but five of them were won at the not-so-prestigious competitions in Charleston, where she won the title.
Interesting facts for betting
- In only one of her last four matches has Cocciaretto traded winning sets with her opponents
- In three of the Italian tennis player's four previous matches, the opening set featured no more than nine games

1.38Tip and bets
Sabalenka's style of play is much more suited to hard than Kocharetto's. Arina has had enough time to get going after the break and injury. In Toronto, she secured two confident victories over Yuan Yue and Boulter with an advantage of at least six games. It is unlikely that Elisabetta will withstand the pressure of the representative of Belarus today.
Our prediction is a victory for Sabalenka with a handicap of (-5) games at odds of 1.61
Bet on total
In her last two wins in Toronto on hard court against Yuan Yue and Boulter, the Belarusian tennis player did not give up more than six games to her opponents. Cocharetto does not have a powerful serve in her arsenal to grab a decent number of games.
The second bet is total under 20 games for 1.75
Bet on the second set
It should be noted that at the moment, in four matches in a row with Sabalenka's participation, more than nine games have not been played in the second set. We expect in the betting tip that this series will not be interrupted today
