Anna Blinkova vs Rebeka Masarova Prediction: Rebeka is Underestimated

Prediction for the WTA Auckland match, which will take place on January 5th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Anna Blinkova finished 2022 with a tournament in Limoges. No. 73 reached the semifinals, where she faced Angelina Kalinina. The match was a two-set, but rather long - nearly two hours, and Blinkova failed. In Oakland, Anna played one match against Cocciaretto and won it in three games, 6:4, 4:6, 7:5. The match lasted two and a half hours, and Blinkova fired nine times and had six double faults. Anna won 70% of the points on the first serve and 50% on the second. On the receiving end, Anna had the following numbers: 40% of points on Cocciaretto's first serve and 39% on her second.

For Masarova, the upcoming match will be her fourth in Oakland. Rebecca played two qualifiers before the main draw, dropping Sebov and Errani. The Spaniard beat American Sloane Stephens in two games in the first round. The match lasted almost two hours, and Rebeka made four aces and had four double faults. Masarova won 70% of points on her first and 38% on her second serve. On reception, Masarova had the following statistic: 43% on Sloan's first serve and 63% on her second. As a reminder, Masarova is 23 years old and ranked 130th in the WTA. In 2022 Masarova played 22 matches on a hard court, winning 13.

We believe that Masarova is underestimated. She played three matches in Oakland, never lost even a set, and knocked out Sloane Stephens. Blinkova, with great difficulty, overcame the resistance of the little-known Cocciaretto. We think that Anna will have a hard time, but we won't be surprised if she wins.
