Potapova - Birrell: betting tip for the Miami WTA match
Earlier this year, Anastasia Potapova lost to Kimberly Birrell at the Brisbane tournament. The Russian tennis player has a chance to take revenge on March 19 in Miami. Will Anastasia be able to beat the representative of Australia today and which bets to choose for the game? - the answer is in our expert's betting tip
Command Analysis
Anastasia Potapova
Russian FederationCurrent form
Potapova has performed her best this season at tournaments in the halls. First, she had the quarterfinals in Linz, and then the title in Cluj-Napoca. The return to the open hard court cannot be called successful for the Russian. In Dubai and Indian Wells, she overcame one round each and sheathed her racket. Note that Anastasia shot on the courts in Miami in 2023, when she reached the quarterfinals. At all other starts here in the main draw, she did not win a single victory.
Professional qualities
Anastasia's style of play is more focused on attacking, on the desire to dictate her terms on the court. However, there is often a lot of confusion and rash decisions in her actions. Plus, it is not possible to consistently work on your pitch, you often have to take unnecessary risks, which does not always bring success.
Current indicators in the tour
Since the beginning of the year, Potapova has solid statistics: 12 wins and five losses. However, of the total 12 wins, she got seven in the halls, where she proved herself to the maximum. Anastasia is currently ranked 38th in the world ranking.
Interesting facts for betting
- At all tournaments since the beginning of the year, Potapova has overcome at least one round.
- In only one of Potapova's last five matches, more than nine games were played in the second game.
Kimberly Birrell
AustraliaCurrent form
Birrell is holding the second tournament in a row in the American hardball series at a high level for himself. In Indian Wells, Kimberly not only successfully overcame the qualification, but also went through one round in the main draw. In Miami, she already had two qualifying rounds under her belt, and there were quite difficult opponents: Sosnovich (6-4, 6-3) and Dart (6-4, 6-3).
Professional qualities
The Australian tennis player plays fairly straightforward tennis, relying on a strong first serve and a powerful forehand. At the same time, if the first serve fails, then it has difficulties on the second one, you can see a decent number of double errors.
Current indicators in the tour
Birrell can clearly take the interim results of his performances for the season to his credit: 19 wins and only five defeats. She has now risen to a record 68th position in the ranking.
Interesting facts for betting
- In six consecutive matches with Birrell, the minimum number of sets was played.
- In Birrell's last five matches, more than nine games were played in the first game.

1.62Tip and bets
In our opinion, bookmakers overestimate Potapova's current capabilities in this pair. After returning to the open hard court, she did not have any success, plus, in the only face-to-face meeting this year, she lost to her current opponent on the open hard court. Birrell is having her best season of her career, has successfully overcome two rounds of qualifying in Miami, has adapted to the local conditions and is able to at least provide decent resistance to Anastasia.
Our prediction is that Birrell will win with a handicap of (+4) games with a coefficient of 1.67
Bet on the total
When choosing a total bet, we start from the fact that both tennis players are not stable, they often miss the initiative during the matches. In a face-to-face meeting in Brisbane, they played 21 games in two sets, and there is a high probability that the game will turn out to be protracted today.
The second bet is a total of more than 21 games for 1.80
Tiebreak bet
It is worth taking a closer look at the possible high-odds tie-break bet that Potapova and Birrell had in a personal meeting. In addition, it should be noted that 12 tie-breaks were played in 24 matches played with Kimberly this season.
Prediction – tie-break in the match – yes with a coefficient of 3.90
