Gauff - Sakkari: betting tip for the WTA Indian Wells match
In Indian Wells, Corey Gauff started with a very difficult victory over Uchijima and is clearly not in the best shape right now. Maria Sakkari, more than confidently outplayed Tomova the day before and plans to build on her success on March 10. How will the face-to-face confrontation between the rivals go today? - the answer is further in our betting tip
Command Analysis
Cori Gauff
USACurrent form
After the quarterfinals of the Australian Open, Corey Gauff doesn't look like herself. The American failed to win a single match in Doha and Dubai, and lost to far from the most formidable rivals – Kostyuk and Kessler. In Indian Wells, she wrested victory from Uchijima at the start with great difficulty (6-4, 3-6, 7-6). Obviously, at the moment, Corey is far from her more or less optimal playing conditions.
Professional qualities
Gauff has great movement, great footwork, which allows her to cover the entire court. Corey tries to play in an aggressive manner, but at the same time she is always ready to fully work on the back line. Her weak spot is the second serve. There were 21 double faults in the game against Uchijima.
Current indicators in the tour
Gauff is the third racket of the world, but in the near future, if he does not stabilize his game, he will leave the top 3. In Indian Wells, she needs to defend the points from last year's semifinal. Interestingly, she then lost in the 1/2 finals to Sakkari.
Interesting facts for betting
- In four of the last five matches, Gauff played more than nine games in the first set.
- In three of Corey's previous four matches, the minimum number of sets was played.
Maria Sakkari
GreeceCurrent form
Sakkari has been actively playing on tour since the beginning of the year, trying to get in shape, but little is working. So far, Maria has never won more than one round in the same bracket. Perhaps the Indian Wells tournament will be a breakthrough for her, as she has played in the finals here twice, including a year ago. At the start, the Greek tennis player defeated Victoria Tomova (6-0, 6-3).
Professional qualities
Maria stands out in the tour for her endurance, and her physical fitness is always excellent. At the same time, the desire to play powerfully and quickly does not always bring her success.
Current indicators in the tour
Since the beginning of the season, Sakkari has won only five matches on the tour and suffered nine defeats. She is currently in 29th position in the ranking, and if she does not defend the points for last year's final in Indian Wells, then there will be a decent loss of positions.
Interesting facts for betting
- Sakkari defeated Gauff in five out of eight face-to-face meetings.
- In the last four matches with Sakkari, there was no exchange of games won.

2.25Tip and bets
Gauff is the clear favorite of the bookmakers, although she hardly deserves this status with her game and results. With great difficulty, Kori passed Uchijima at the start with a huge number of mistakes. Of course, Sakkari is also unimpressive for the season, but the tournament in Indian Wells is one of the most successful in her career, plus Maria confidently passed the opening round, which can give her additional confidence in her own abilities. Let's add that the Greek tennis player leads in personal meetings with a score of 5-3.
