WTA Beijing: Rakhimova, Sakkari highlight Value Bets in Round of 32
Beijing, China – Two marquee matchups in the WTA Beijing round of 32 present compelling betting opportunities as players battle for form and ranking points. While both contests feature competitors navigating challenging seasons, analysis reveals potential value in backing Ludmilla Rakhimova and Maria Sakkari.
The first featured clash pits Rakhimova against Bronzetti. Despite a 10-16 record this year compared to Bronzetti’s 9-11, Rakhimova appears to possess a slight edge. Both players have reached the round of 16 onyl once on hardcourt this year, signaling a desperate need for a turnaround. Though, a closer look suggests Rakhimova has more tools at her disposal, making her the preferred straight-up bet despite the match appearing close to a coin flip.
In the second match, Ashlyn Krueger faces Maria Sakkari for the first time. Sakkari’s 22-26 season record is marginally worse than Krueger’s 24-23, but Sakkari boasts substantially more experience on hardcourts (251-175) compared to Krueger’s 108-80. Despite Krueger’s better year-to-date record, Sakkari’s experience and a tendency for Krueger to underperform as a favorite suggest a potential upset.
Best Bets:
* Rakhimova to win @ 1.75 via Interwetten
* Under 21.5 games @ 1.91 via Bet365 (Krueger vs. sakkari)
