Sobolenko – Towson: forecast for the WTA Dubai match
Arina Sobolenko will play Klara Towson in one of the matches of the 1/8 finals of the Dubai tournament on February 19. The Dane put up serious resistance to Arina in the only personal meeting, and is now in excellent shape. Should we expect intrigue today, or will the first racket of the world confidently step into the quarterfinals? We recommend that you review our forecast and choose reliable bets
Command Analysis
Aryna Sabalenka
BelarusCurrent form
A week ago in Doha, Sobolenko failed to show anything, lost at the start to Alexandrova (6-3, 3-6, 6-7) and is now in Dubai trying to make up for lost time. At this tournament a year ago, Arina was eliminated in the second round, and now she has the opportunity to significantly replenish her piggy bank with rating points. At the start, the world number one had a match against Kudermetova, in which she managed to win easily enough with a score of 6-3, 6-4.
Professional qualities
Sobolenko plays bold attacking tennis, she has a powerful forehand that many men on the tour can envy. Recently, Arina has noticeably increased her reliability when entering the first ball, often relying on the accuracy of the hit, rather than purely on strength.
Current indicators in the tour
Arina started this year with the title in Brisbane. She failed to win a trophy at the Australian Open, losing in the final to Madison Keys. Sobolenko continues to hold the first position in the world ranking.
Interesting facts for betting
- In three of the last five matches with Sobolenko, the maximum number of sets was played.
- No more than nine games were played in the second set in four of Arina's five previous matches.
Clara Tauson
DenmarkCurrent form
Towson is delighting his fans this season. At the very first tournament in the new year in Auckland, the Dane won the title, then she also had an exit to the third round of the Australian Open, where she lost to Sobolenko in a hard-fought fight (6-7, 4-6). In Dubai, Klara has two hard-fought matches against Shramkova (7-6, 6-0) and Svitolina (7-6, 3-6, 7-6).
Professional qualities
Clara plays power tennis, relies on powerful backhands and a good first serve in her game. The Dane's tennis itself is quite straightforward and predictable, but it's not so easy to deal with her strong shots.
Current indicators in the tour
In 2025, Towson played 15 matches in the tour, of which 12 were victorious. She is ranked 38th in the world rankings, but she will definitely rise higher, as she does not need to defend her ranking points in Dubai.
Interesting facts for betting
- In the last two matches with Towson, tiebreakers were played.
- More than nine games were played in the first set in three of the Dane's five previous matches.
Trends
The Tiebreakbetin the match is yes
Tiebreakers were played in Towson's two previous matches and in the only face-to-face meeting.
3.80Bet Effectiveness of sets: 1>2
This is how events unfolded in three of Towson's last five fights.
2.24Tip and bets
In January in Melbourne, Towson put up serious resistance to Arina, losing with a difference of only three games. Over the past time, Clara has definitely not become weaker. We think that due to her power tennis, the Dane will compete with Sobolenko again and will not lose big today.
Our prediction is that Towson will win with a handicap of (+5.5) games with a coefficient of 1.81
Bet on the total
The tennis players played 23 games in a recent face-to-face meeting at the Australian Open. Klara and Arina are working well on their serve, and it is unlikely that the upcoming meeting will end quickly, especially since Sobolenko played three sets in two of the three previous matches.
The second bet is a total of more than 19 games for 1.78
Bet on the first set
In three of the last five matches involving Towson, more than nine games were played in the first set. We expect that today the tightest fight will be at the start of the match.
The forecast is that the total number of games in the first set is more than 9.5 with a coefficient of 2.35
