Command Analysis
Varvara Gracheva
FranceCurrent form
Gracheva obviously can't take the interim results of her performances this season to her credit – only four wins since the beginning of the year. Nevertheless, it should be noted that for the past three tournaments in a row, Varvara has been going through one round and covering her racket. At previous competitions in Indian Wells, she defeated Kvitova in the first round, after which she lost to Mirra Andreeva. Gracheva showed her best result on the courts in Miami in 2023, when she managed to reach the 1/8 finals.
Professional qualities
Varvara is a versatile tennis player who tries to practice reliably on the back line and go on the attack when her opponents allow it. At the same time, her tennis itself is very messy, often a lot depends on motivation and desire to fight to the last in a single match. Plus, we don't have enough strong serve to feel comfortable on fast surfaces.
Current indicators in the tour
Since the beginning of the year, Gracheva has played ten matches in the tour, in which she won four and suffered six defeats. Varvara did not advance beyond the second round in the main draw at any of the tournaments. She is currently ranked 65th in the world rankings.
Interesting facts for betting
- In two of the three previous matches involving Gracheva, three sets were played.
- In Gracheva's last three matches, more than nine games were played in the opening game.
Alycia Parks
USACurrent form
Parks, like her upcoming opponent, has gone through one round in the main draw in the last three tournaments, after which she immediately sheathed her racket. In Indian Wells, the American beat Kalinskaya (6-4, 6-3), and then lost without a chance to Schneider (1-6, 1-6). Alicia has played on the courts in Miami three times in her career and has never overcome the barrier of the first round of the main draw.
Professional qualities
Alicia plays purely attacking tennis, relying on a strong first serve and a powerful forehand. If her pitch doesn't work, then you can often see complete failures. On the back line, the American is not very stable, and the reception is also far from the most confident.
Current indicators in the tour
Parks currently ranks 59th in the world ranking, her best result in her career is 40th place. This year, the American has 10 wins in 17 matches played.
Interesting facts for betting
- In five of the last six Parks matches, the minimum number of sets was played.
- No more than nine games were played in the first set in four of the five previous matches of the American
Trends
Bet Effectiveness of sets: 2>1
In three of Parks' previous five matches, events on the court developed according to this scenario
2.21Bet 2nd set: total less than 9.5 games
This bet was successful in three of Gracheva's four previous fights.
1.67Tip and bets
Gracheva performed well last week at Indian Wells, even managing to impose a tight fight on the winner of that tournament, Mirra Andreeva, although she lost. Parks is not particularly stable, she does not have the richest technical arsenal, if the first serve does not work, then the American often fails her matches completely. We believe that the bookmakers in this pair decently overestimate Alicia's capabilities.
Our betting tip is Gracheva's victory with a coefficient of 2.52
Bet on the total
In the three previous matches involving Gracheva, more than 21 games were played. Both tennis players are not stable, and it is unlikely that the game between them will end quickly.
The second bet is a total of more than 21 games for 1.80
Bet on the first set
It should be noted that in Gracheva's three previous matches, more than nine games were played in the first set. We expect that just at the start of the match between Varvara and Alicia, a tight and stubborn struggle for the initiative will unfold.
The betting tip is that the total number of games in the first set is more than 9.5 with a coefficient of 2.14
