Command Analysis

Caroline Garcia

Current form
Since the beginning of the year, Garcia has performed only at the Australian Open. In the first round in Melbourne, the Frenchwoman had a difficult opponent, Naomi Osaka. The game turned out to be largely equal, but still the representative of Japan won in three of those (6-3, 3-6, 6-3). In Abu Dhabi, Karolin competed only once, last year she lost to Sorana Kirstya in the first round.
Professional qualities
Karolin is more of an attacking tennis player, trying to make full use of the full potential of her powerful forehand, and her serve is also quite strong. At the same time, Garcia does not always act consistently at the reception.
Current indicators in the tour
Garcia didn't have the best season last year, when she won 17 matches and suffered the same number of defeats. At the moment, the former fourth racket of the world occupies only 76th place in the world ranking.
Interesting facts for betting
- In Abu Dhabi, Garcia has never broken the first-round barrier.
- In two of the last three matches, Karolin played tiebreakers.

Lulu Sun

Current form
Lulu Sun has four matches listed in this statistic, and she was defeated in all of them. At the Australian Open, the tennis player "managed" to lose to Danka Kovinic, who has not had a full-fledged game practice for a long time (3-6, 5-7) and for whom the bookmakers gave a coefficient above 10.00 to win. Last week, Lulu Sun tried her hand at Linz, where she lost in the first round to Sarah Sorribes Tormo (3-6, 3-6).
Professional qualities
At her best, Lulu Sun is characterized by her high movement speed on the court and tenacity on the back line. At the same time, she has a fairly powerful first serve in her arsenal, which allows her to feel comfortable on fast surfaces.
Current indicators in the tour
In 2024, Lulu Sun had a decent rise in the game and the results, she entered the top 50 of the world ranking. However, so far this season, the tennis player has not even demonstrated last year's level of play. At the moment, she occupies a high 45th place in the ranking, but she is unlikely to stay in the top 50 for long, given the current game.
Interesting facts for betting
- Since the beginning of the year, Lulu Sun has lost all four matches played.
- Only one of the four matches this season involving Lulu Sun had more than nine games played in the first set.
Trends
Bet Effectiveness of sets: 1=2
This is how events unfolded in two of Lulu Song's four matches.
4.401st setbet: total less than 9.5 games
This bet was successful in three of Lulu Song's four previous matches.
1.77Tip and bets
Since the beginning of the year, Garcia has played only one match, lost to Osaka, but managed to impose a fight, and scored a set win in that meeting. Lulu Sun is clearly on a decent decline right now, she hasn't won any of the four matches she's played, and even Kovinic, who hasn't played much in recent years, has lost. We believe that the Frenchwoman has a better chance of reaching the second round in Abu Dhabi.
Our prediction is that Garcia will win with a handicap (-2.5) of the game with a coefficient of 1.84
Bet on the total
In the last two matches, Lulu Sun lost without winning sets, the total of those matches did not exceed the mark of 21 games. We expect that the upcoming match will be played through the "bottom" of the total.
The second bet is a total of less than 21.5 games for 1.90
Bet on the second set
In three of the four matches played with Lulu Sun this year, no more than nine games were played in the second game. It is unlikely that this game segment will be prolonged today.
The forecast is that the total number of games in the second set is less than 9.5 with a coefficient of 1.73
