WTA – Mutua Madrid Open Round 1 – Madrid, Spain
- When: Wednesday, April 24th, 2024
Caroline Dolehide vs. Wang Yafan
Underdog Wang Yafan is 11-8 in singles matches this season. Yafan didn’t play great in her last, falling to Peyton Stearns in the first round at the Miami Open.
Caroline Dolehide made it to the third round at the BNP Paribas Open. But Dolehide lost in the first round in Miami, just like Yafan. The odds make the underdog playable.
Tennis Betting Pick: Wang Yafan +109
Yuan Yue vs. Yulia Putintseva
This season, Yuan Yue has been excelling in lower level tournaments. Yue has won the ATX Open and recently made it to the quarterfinals, losing to Sloane Stephens, at the Open Capfinances Rouen Metropole.
Yulia Putintseva had a fantastic Miami Open, making it all the way to the quarterfinals, where she fell to Victoria Azarenka after 3 sets and a tiebreaker. Yue has a shot, but Putintseva should get it done.
Tennis Betting Pick: Yulia Putintseva -154
Ashlynn Kreuger vs. Nao Hibino
Hibino is 14-11 in singles matches this season. The thirty-year-old from Japan lost in the first round at the Open Capfinances Rouen Metropole in her last.
Ashlynn Kreuger won her first match at the Credit One Charleston Open before losing to 4-seed Daria Kasatkina. Kreuger is starting out her career. She’s just nineteen, which means she should have more energy than Hibino in this. Lay the 4.5 games.
Tennis Betting Pick: Ashlynn Kreuger -4.5 -108
Mayar Sherif vs. Lauren Davis
Davis is 0-1 in singles matches this season. Davis fell to Sachia Vickery while qualifying for the Credit One Charleston Open.
Mayar Sherif is 0-5 in singles matches this season. Sherif lost to Yuan Yue at the Open Capfinances Rouen Metropole in her last. Sherif isn’t playing well enough to lay games. So, although the payout is -133, we must roll the dice and grab the +4.5 on Davis.
Tennis Betting Pick: Lauren Davis +4.5 -133
Taylor Townsend vs. Mirra Andreeva
Slight underdog Taylor Townsend is 12-8 in singles matches this season. Townsend played well at the Credit One Charleston Open, knocking out Ekaterina Alexandrova before losing to Victoria Azarenka in the third round after 3 sets and a tiebreaker.
Mirra Andreeva made it to the quarterfinals at the Open Capfinances Rouen Metropole. Andreeva is sixteen years old. She has a big shot of winning this, but Townsend’s experience prevails.
Tennis Betting Pick: Taylor Townsend +128
Shelby Rogers vs. Zhang Shuai
Zhang Shuai is 0-3 this season. Shuai lost her last match to Daria Saville 4-6, 6-2, 4-6. Shuai is thirty-five, which might be the reason she’s struggling to keep up with her opponents, which in most cases are much younger.
Shelby Rogers is 3-4 this season. But she should have no trouble cover the game’s total against a player that isn’t in even mediocre form.
Tennis Betting Pick: Shelby Rogers -5.5 -120
