Find out in our prediction. What bets should you consider for the match?
Command Analysis
Erika Andreeva
Russian FederationCurrent Form
Recently, Erika secured a decisive victory against her sister Mira, winning in straight sets 6-3, 6-1. It’s worth noting that the player was unable to qualify but received a lucky loser spot from the organizers. In addition to her win over her sister, Andreeva overcame Dayana Yastremska in a challenging match with scores of 7-5, 6-4.
Professional Qualities
Erika plays a clean game with minimal errors and shies away from unnecessary risks. This strategy has worked well in her previous matches, but it may prove difficult to penetrate Paolini’s solid defense with her playing style.
Current Tour Stats
Since the beginning of the year, Erika has tallied 36 wins and 25 losses on tour. These results have helped her secure a spot in the top 100 of the world rankings, currently sitting at 70th place.

Jasmine Paolini
ItalyCurrent Form
Paolini did not perform well last week in Beijing, where she lost to Linette in the third round with a score of 4-6, 0-6. Undoubtedly, the Italian player aims to rebound more successfully in Wuhan. In her opening match, she displayed great focus against Yuan Yue, minimizing her errors on the court and securing a well-deserved victory of 6-4, 6-3.
Professional Qualities
Jasmine moves excellently around the court, retrieving even the toughest shots on the baseline while committing very few errors. Although her serve is not the most powerful, she has shown noticeable progress in this area.

2.25Tip and bets
We do not expect Erika to surprise us today. She faces a challenging opponent and it is difficult to defeat the Italian with a solid defensive game, as she thrives in such situations and always finds a way to escalate the play and force her rival into mistakes. Andrejeva will need to come up with something different and take risks, which will certainly disrupt her usual rhythm, and she lacks experience.
Our prediction is a Paolini victory with a handicap of (-4) games at odds of 1.76
Total Bet
The two tennis players have faced each other twice previously, with Paolini winning both encounters, and Erika was unable to score more than five games in either match. It’s unlikely this time will be any different.
The second bet is set at under 21 games at a 1.86 line.
Second Set Bet
In three out of the last four matches, Paolini did not see more than nine games played in the second set. Our prediction anticipates that the Italian will confidently «close out» Erika during this segment today.
Prediction - total games in the second set under 9.5 with odds of 1.45
