Expert Betting Tips

Kudermetova failed last season, falling from the 19th ranking to 75th, and a season earlier the Russian was in the top 10 of the WTA rankings. Haddha Maia, on the contrary, was quite stable during this period, in the second part of 2024 the Brazilian twice beat Veronica on the hard court and twice in two sets. We believe that bookmakers slightly overestimate Kudermetova, putting out such a line, we are on the side of Beatriz in the pair. Moreover, we believe that the Brazilian will achieve a confident victory, two games will be enough for her.
