Anhelina Kalinina vs Victoria Azarenka Prediction and Betting Tips (20.03.2025)

Command Analysis

Anhelina Kalinina

Ukraine

Current form

Kalinina is having a weak season, in fact, she can only take advantage of two tournaments – the semi-finals in Brisbane and the quarterfinals in Cluj-Napoca. In the last four competitions, the Ukrainian tennis player won only one match. In Indian Wells, she didn't have the most difficult opponent Bronzetti at the start, but she couldn't beat her either (4-6, 5-7).

Professional qualities

Angelina relies a lot in her game on strong punches from both hands and a good first serve. At the same time, often due to psychological problems, she cannot show her maximum: a few mistakes can knock her out of her usual rhythm for a long time.

Current indicators in the tour

In 2025, Kalinina has negative statistics of wins and losses (7-8). She holds a high 55th position in the world rankings, but in Miami she needs to defend points for reaching the 1/8 finals last year. In case of failure, a decent drop in the rating will follow.

Interesting facts for betting

Kalinina lost to Azarenka in two head-to-head matches.
In three of Kalinina's four previous matches, three sets were played.

Victoria Azarenka

Belarus

Current form

Azarenka, like her upcoming opponent, is not doing much this season – only three wins since the beginning of the year. Last week, Victoria tried her hand at Indian Wells, went through one round, after which she lost to Zheng Jingwen (3-6, 4-6). The Belarusian tennis player has been performing successfully on the courts in Miami throughout her career, winning these competitions three times, and last year she managed to reach the semifinals.

Professional qualities

Azarenka has a great technique, a rich arsenal of punches, and a reliable technique. Now Victoria often lacks speed, she doesn't always manage to serve consistently, but due to her experience and character, she is still able to prove herself.

Current indicators in the tour

Victoria has only three wins in eight matches since the beginning of the year. She never went beyond the second round. The former world number one currently ranks a modest 32nd in the WTA rankings.

Interesting facts for betting

Tip and bets

1.62Azarenka with a head start (-2)

Both tennis players are extremely motivated to perform successfully in Miami, as they need to protect decent ranking points, while both are far from being at their peak right now. In this case, it is worth paying attention to the fact that Azarenka leads in personal meetings with a score of 2-0 and won one of the victories over Kalinina this year on the hard court in Dubai. Plus, Victoria has been playing successfully in Miami throughout her career. We think the Belarusian tennis player will be able to overcome at least one round.

Our prediction is that Azarenka will win with a handicap of (-2) games with a coefficient of 1.62
