Command Analysis
Tatjana Maria
GermanyCurrent form
Since the beginning of the season, the experienced Tatiana Maria has failed only one successful tournament. In the framework of not the most prestigious competitions in Bangalore, she won the title back in January. In Miami, the German easily dealt with Zhanjan (6-2, 6-2) in the first qualifying round, although she was not the favorite in the bookmaker's line in that game. It should be noted that Maria showed her best result on local courts back in 2019, when she managed to make it to the 1/8 finals.
Professional qualities
Maria plays a little outside the box, constantly uses a lot of slices in her game, knocks down the tempo when exchanging blows. On the back line, the German has never been stable in her actions.
Current indicators in the tour
In 2025, Maria played 15 matches on the tour, in which she scored nine victories. It should be noted that she completed five of them at the Bangalore tournament. In the world ranking, the former 42nd racket of the world is now ranked 86th.
Interesting facts for betting
- In the previous three matches, Maria did not exchange the sets she won with her rivals.
- No more than nine games were played in the second set in four of the five previous matches of the German
Yulia Starodubtseva
UkraineCurrent form
Starodubtseva had a great time last season, she entered the top 100, but this year her game is absolutely not going well – only two wins since the beginning of the year. Nevertheless, in Miami, Yulia managed to beat the experienced Lepchenko at the start of the qualification, although she did not immediately enter the game (5-7, 6-1, 6-1). It should be noted that the Ukrainian tennis player performs on local courts for the first time in her career.
Professional qualities
Yulia relies on power tennis in her game, on powerful strokes, tries to act quickly, not to delay the draws. At the same time, the tennis player herself is not always ready to maintain a high pace, especially when she is not in optimal shape.
Current indicators in the tour
Taking into account the unsuccessful performances this season, Starodubtseva has left the top 100 and currently occupies a modest 108th place in the world ranking. Since the beginning of the year, she has won only two fights, and suffered defeats in eight meetings.
Interesting facts for betting
- Only one of the last five matches involving Starodubtseva had the maximum number of sets played.
- In Starodubtseva's three previous matches, more than nine games were played in the first game.

This bet was successful in three previous matches of the German tennis player.
1.65Tip and bets
Taking into account the current results this season, Maria receives the status of the favorite from the bookmakers. However, the German woman is not particularly stable, and Starodubtseva is definitely not inferior to Tatiana in terms of her potential. Perhaps defeating Lepchenko in the first round will give Yulia confidence in her own abilities. We think that according to the quoted prices in this pair, it is worth betting on the underdog.
