Dayana Yastremska vs Madison Brengle: Isn't the Ukrainian Player Overrated?

Even though Brengle defeated Yastremska 2:0 a year and a half ago and not the best form of the Ukrainian, bookmakers picked her side of the Ukrainian, considering Dayana a favourite of the upcoming match.

We saw Dayana in 2022 at two tournaments. In Melbourne, the once second-ranked Ukrainian lost her first meeting to Kerkhove. In Adelaide, Dayana qualified, outplaying Zuger and Van Uytvanck, but eventually lost in the main draw to Martincova. Yastremska is gaining form but doing so, if I may say so, incrementally. Frankly, the odds on this match are a bit surprising.

Madison is full of practice, with Brangle playing five official matches in 2022, three of which she won with two losses. Victories over Hibino, Potapova and Peterson at two Melbourne and Adelaide tournaments defeat Kudermetova and Riske. By the way, Madison dropped that game with a 3:3 score in the first set. In general, there is nothing special in the statistics of Brengle, except the fact that the American has already beaten Yastremska. She’s higher in the rating than the Ukrainian. Also, the injury is difficult to say about the degree of injuries and the level of readiness for the game. If the American realizes her potential to a large percentage, the Ukrainian will definitely have a problem.

After Yastremska returned to big tennis, Diane did not show anything outstanding, evidenced by her current rating. If not for Brengle’s injury in Adelaide, then on the available line would be a win of the American. Still, considering the circumstances, just in case, we recommend the plus handicap, and the second bet would give all the same victory of the American.
