Command Analysis
Aryna Sabalenka
BelarusCurrent form
Sabalenka is starting the season in Brisbane for the second year in a row. In 2024, she reached the final on local courts, where she lost to Rybakina (0-6, 3-6). The world number one began to defend last year ranking points more than confidently - she crushed Sarasua with class (6-4, 6-0). However, in the next round, Arina met serious resistance from the unyielding Putintseva (7-6, 6-4). Largely due to more reliable actions on her serve, she managed to break Yulia resistance.
Professional qualities
Arina is a physically powerful tennis player, and feels most comfortable on hard courts, where she can fully utilize her strong serve and very powerful forehand, which many men on tour would envy.
Current indicators in the tour
Following the results of last season, Sabalenka finished in first place in the world rankings and will now strive to retain the title of the best tennis player in the world. Arina achieved her greatest success last year on hard, winning 38 out of 45 matches.

Marie Bouzkova

Bouzkova is playing in Brisbane for the third time in her career and this year she achieved her best result on local courts, reaching the quarterfinals. Marie has three wins and only one set lost at the start in a confrontation with Gibson (7-6, 3-6, 6-3). Then, against more formidable opponents Ostapenko and Azarenka, the Czech tennis player won with an exact score of 2-0 in sets.
Professional qualities
Marie is distinguished by her versatility and rich technical arsenal, which allows her to feel comfortable on any type of surface. The Czech has a decently powerful serve, is capable of hitting a shot, and at the right moment knows how to go to the net and knock her opponent out of her usual rhythm.

This is the scenario that unfolded in Sabalenka two matches at the tournament in Brisbane
2.23Tip and bets
In the last two matches in Brisbane, Bouzkova defeated the difficult Ostapenko and Azarenka, and managed to adapt to the game of these opponents. The Czech tennis player knows how to act against Sabalenka, since she defeated her on hard court in Washington last year. The same Putintseva showed that it is possible to play against Arina. We think that Marie, who has gained a decent momentum, will not give up the match today without a fight.
Our prediction is a victory for Buzkova with a handicap of (+6) games with a coefficient of 1.71
Bet on total
In their last personal meeting, the tennis players played three sets. In all three matches involving Bouzkova in Brisbane, more than 19 games were played, and Sabalenka and Putintseva played 23 games. We expect in the forecast that the tennis player will play at least 20 games today.
The second bet is total over 19.5 games for 1.94
Bet on the second set
It should be noted that in the two head-to-head matches in the second set, no more than nine games were played. We do not expect this series to be broken today in Brisbane.
Forecast - total games in the second set over 9.5 with odds of 2.41
