Sobolenko - Tomova: betting tip for the Miami WTA match
Back in 2016, when Arina Sobolenko was still far from all her current achievements, she played against Victoria Tomova at one of the less prestigious tournaments and lost. Over the past time, the Belarusian tennis player has made a huge breakthrough, while the representative of Bulgaria has not been able to really gain a foothold in the top 50. What can we expect from the face-to-face match between the rivals on March 20 in Miami? - the answer is in our betting tip below

Command Analysis

Aryna Sabalenka

Current form
Sobolenko was close to the title at Indian Wells, where she confidently went through five rounds without losing a single set. In the decisive match, Arina played against Mirra Andreeva, took the first game without any problems, but the young Russian tennis player managed to turn the course of that meeting in her favor (2-6, 6-4, 6-3). In Miami, the world number one has a good chance to replenish her piggy bank with ranking points, since she has only had the third round here since last year.
Professional qualities
Throughout her career, Sobolenko has been playing with a clear emphasis on attack, using the full potential of her forehand and first serve. At the same time, Arina noticeably adds to the reliability of the game on the back line. She feels most comfortable on the hard drive.

The Belarusian tennis player confidently leads the world ranking and does not allow Schwentek to catch up with herself. Arina has the Brisbane title, the finals of the Australian Open and Indian Wells in 2025.

Viktoriya Tomova

Current form
Tomova has not had much success during the season. She showed her best result in Cluj-Napoca, where she made it to the quarterfinals. In all other tournaments, the Bulgarian tennis player sheathed her racket in the first or second round. In Miami, she started from the first round and beat McNally in a hard fight (6-3, 2-6, 6-3).

Tomova feels most comfortable on the ground, as she is more inclined to defensive tennis, to prolonged draws. Victoria's pitch is not stable.

We do not think that any surprises should be expected in this pair. Tomova was unable to match Sakkari at the previous Indian Wells tournament, losing to her with a nine-game difference.
