Lepchenko – Sonmez: betting tip for the WTA Beijing match
In the first qualifying round of the tournament in Beijing on September 23, Varvara Lepchenko will play against Zeynep Sonmez. Bookmakers do not believe in Varvara and have her as an underdog. How justified are such odds and what exact bets should you choose? - the answer is in our betting tip
Command Analysis
Varvara Lepchenko
USACurrent form
Lepchenko has improved significantly during the season and has shown good results in recent tournaments. At the US Open, Varvara made it from the qualifying rounds to the second round of the main draw. Having moved to Asia, the 38-year-old tennis player also successfully passed the qualifying rounds in Seoul, but in the first round of the main draw, she lost to Alexandrova, although she played two sets equally with her (5-7, 6-3, 0-6).
Professional qualities
Varvara tries to play number one, she has a powerful serve in her arsenal, in general, given her experience, she has a very rich technical arsenal. However, now she clearly lacks speed, and in long matches she is not fully ready to show herself, which was noticeable in the game with Alexandrova, when she completely lost in the third set.
Current indicators in the tour
Lepchenko actively performs on tour, most often in not the most prestigious tournaments, or in qualification. In total, she won 38 matches and suffered 26 losses. On hard we see +13 -9.
Interesting facts for betting
- In two of her last three matches, Lepchenko exchanged winning sets with her opponents
Zeynep Sonmez
TurkeyCurrent form
Sonmez has had successful tournaments several times during the season, and has had sensational victories, but she lacks the consistency to go the entire distance at the same level. And in general, the Turkish tennis player does not demonstrate anything special on the court in terms of her level of play. She last played at the beginning of September at the tournament in Monastir, where she made it from the qualification to the quarterfinals.
Professional qualities
Sonmez has no particular strong points in her game. She can only point out her good ability to hold the ball in the game on the back line, waiting for her opponents to make mistakes.
Current indicators in the tour
Sonmez is ranked a modest 157th in the world and has never broken into the top 100 in her entire career. On open hard courts, the 22-year-old tennis player has 16 wins and ten losses.
Interesting facts for betting
- Sonmez has played three sets in two of her previous three matches
- Four of the Turkish tennis player's last six games were played in tie-breaks

This scenario has played out in four of Sonmez's last five matches
2.25Tip and bets
Lepchenko has already managed to hold one tournament in Asia and showed herself well in Seoul. Let us recall that she successfully passed the qualification at those competitions. Sonmez does not demonstrate anything special on the court, and is unlikely to surprise the experienced Varvara with anything. We believe that bookmakers underestimate the US representative in this pair.
Our prediction is Lepchenko's victory with odds of 2.58
Bet on total
In two of the three previous matches, both with Lepchenko and Sonmez, three sets were played. We do not rule out that the face-to-face match will follow the same scenario today.
The second bet is total over 21 games for 1.92
Tiebreak bet
It should be noted that four of Sonmez's previous six matches were played in tie-breaks. Given that we expect a tight and equal game, we think there is a high probability that the tennis players will play the maximum number of games in one of the sets.
Betting Tip - tie-break in the match - yes with odds of 3.55
