Command Analysis

Petra Kvitova

Current form
Returning to the tour after the birth of a child is difficult for Kvitova. In the two matches played against Burrage in Austin and against Gracheva in Indian Wells, Petra fought, took a set each time, but could not win. She has a start ahead in Miami, where she won the title for the last time in 2023, beating Rybakin in the final.
Professional qualities
Serving is of great importance in Kvitova's game. In this component, Petra is traditionally strong, her serve is not only powerful, given the size of the tennis player, but also inconvenient to receive, since Petra is left-handed. In general, the Czech relies on power tennis, is able to punch through any opponent.
Current indicators in the tour
It wasn't until the tournament in Austin three weeks ago that Kvitova returned to the tour after having a baby. The Czech has played two matches that she failed to win. The former world number two currently occupies a modest 1126th place in the world ranking, and it's not an easy path to return to at least the top 100 to begin with.
Interesting facts for betting

- In the last eight starts in Miami, Kvitova did not leave the tournament before the third round.

Sofia Kenin

Current form
Kenin seems to have overcome the prolonged recession and has already returned to the top 50 of the world ranking. However, it cannot be said that Sofia is demonstrating a stable game this year. Nevertheless, after the Australian Open, she played in three tournaments and overcame at least one round everywhere. At the last Indian Wells competition, the American tennis player easily beat Inglis in the first round (6-2, 6-1), after which she lost to Kasatkina (6-3, 5-7, 4-6).
Professional qualities
Sofia is a versatile tennis player with a rich technical arsenal. She can play in an aggressive manner, and she can work steadily on the back line. At the same time, Kenin has noticeable psychological problems, often does not complete seemingly already won sets and entire fights in his favor.
Current indicators in the tour
In general, Sofia can take the interim results of her performances this season to her credit, especially given the numerous previous failures and the prolonged recession. The American currently has 11 wins and seven losses. She is ranked 46th in the world rankings, although she once had a decent rise in her career and fourth place.
Interesting facts for betting
- In five of the previous seven matches, Kenin played in two sets.
- Three tiebreakers have been played in the last five matches of the American
Trends
The Totalbetis more than 2.5 sets
In the two matches after returning to the tour, Kvitova played three sets apiece.
2.55Bet 2nd set: total more than 9.5 games
This bet was successful in the previous two face-to-face matches.
2.16Tip and bets
Kvitova has barely returned to the tour and, quite expectedly, has not had much success right away, but it should be noted that Petra fights to the maximum in every match, she does not leave the court without a fight. Kenin rarely deals with rivals easily and naturally, especially with those who play in an aggressive power manner. It is unlikely that the American will confidently outplay the extremely motivated and experienced Czech today.
Our prediction is that Kvitova will win with a handicap of (+4) games with a coefficient of 1.97
Bet on the total
Petra leads in personal meetings with a score of 2-1, and in two duels you could see a stubborn struggle and a total of more than 21 games. Plus, in the two matches played this season, Kvitova played in three sets each.
The second bet is a total of more than 21 games in 1.81
Bet on the first set
Let's pay attention to the fact that in the three previous matches with Kenin's participation, more than nine games were not played in the first game. We expect that this time there will be no tight competition at the start, it is far from a fact that both tennis players will immediately adapt to local conditions.
The betting tip is that the total number of games in the first set is less than 9.5 with a coefficient of 1.72
