  1. Xinyu Wang to beat Hailey Baptiste at 1.67 with Unibet Wang has a 2-0 record against Baptiste, and this looks like a fairly similar match-up to the one against Tauson from the end of the previous month. The conditions aren't fast by any stretch, and they are also tough physically, which should favor Wang if the match goes on for a while. Linda Fruhvirtova to beat Shelby Rogers at 1.80 with Bet365 Rogers has played only 3 matches this year and her fitness is questionable. Linda hasn't been great lately, but she has a lot of match practice under her belt at the very least.
  2. Cristian Garin to beat Valentin Vacherot at 1.57 with William Hill Garin is getting a very playable opponent here in conditions he should enjoy more, so I fancy him to get back to winning ways. He still has it, and the occasion will hopefully push him a bit as well.
  3. Sara Errani to beat Alexandra Eala at 1.73 with Unibet Eala has finally started to win some matches against decent opposition, but I still think she's overhyped and not ready for the main WTA circuit. Errani has been surprisingly good so far in 2024, and that form makes her a good favorite for me here.
  4. Carlos Alcaraz to beat Jannik Sinner at 2.10 with Bet365 This should be very interesting indeed, but I think the value is with Alcaraz to finally break Sinner's unbeaten streak. The IW conditions suit him well, and he went past the Zverev test with flying colors. I think this is 50/50 at best.
  5. Carlos Alcaraz (-1.5 sets) to beat Alexander Zverev at 2.10 with Unibet A risky handicap, but I think it's worth it in the IW conditions, which should give Alcaraz a big edge in this match-up. The slower the courts, the better for Carlos against Zverev.
  6. Darya Kasatkina to beat Yue Yuan at 1.57 with Unibet Yuan is on an impressive streak right now, but I didn't particularly like her performance against Dolehide, she was struggling to apply herself, and just not looking in-form at all against an opponent that was making a lot of bad tactical decisions. Kasatkina should stop her here.
  7. Avanesyan is already the favorite according to the odds! Daria Saville to beat Bernarda Pera at 2.02 with Unibet This looks like another false favorite to me, the conditions should favor Saville, and she's doing well on form as well. I saw her against Zhu and Fruhvirtova and she was moving as well as ever, which should frustrate Pera to no end. At odds against, this looks like a good pick to me.
  8. Elina Avanesyan to beat Oceane Dodin at 2.38 with Bet365 There are some question marks over Avanesyan's fitness, but I simply have to back her at such a price. Dodin is very capable of beating herself, and she hasn't done much since impressing us all in Australia. Avanesyan is steadily improving, she is much more consistent, and the courts are by no means fast enough to give Dodin an edge imo.
  9. Linda Fruhvirtova to beat Rebeka Masarova at 1.82 with Unibet Fruhvirtova seems to have Masarova's number, with the H2H standing at 3-0, all on hard. She's been improving, too, and beating Bektas 2-0 was a good result.
  10. Alexander Bublik (+1.5 sets) to beat Ugo Humbert at 1.63 with Unibet Well done Humbert for the week so far, but Bublik hasn't been fooling around that much either, and there are bound to be some nerves here, which should favor Bublik a bit I'd say. Big serves don't usually bother him that much, and he can more than match Humbert off the ground.
  11. Anhelina Kalinina to beat Diane Parry at 1.62 with William Hill I've always seen Parry as a somewhat overrated player, and Kalinina seems to be on the up right now, having beaten two tricky opponents in Bejlek and Osorio. The conditions seem to be a good fit for her, and Parry shouldn't be able to deal with her heavier shots.
  12. Xinyu Wang to beat Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova at 2.63 with Unibet I really liked Xinyu Wang against Tauson, she was moving really well and reading Tauson's serves like a book. With Pavlyuchenkova not playing for a while, I don't think she deserves to be such a favorite in this one, she can be streaky.
  13. Anastasija Sevastova to beat Julia Riera at 1.60 with Unibet Sevastova seems to be picking her spots well, and I do fancy her against Riera, who hasn't played much since the Aussie Open, and who had some luck against Li a week ago, as the latter was physically limited.
  14. Peyton Stearns (-3.5) to beat Anna Karolina Schmiedlova at 1.91 with Bet365 AKS was awful in her last match against Vickery, and Stearns will surely be looking to do well back on home soil after what was a rather disappointing start to the season. She's more talented and the better player already, so I quite fancy her in this spot.
  15. Noooo the usual Ostapenko is turning up 😒 Edit: phew, got there!
  16. Jelena Ostapenko (-4.5) to beat Xiyu Wang at 1.89 with Unibet Ostapenko is 14-3 this season, and all 3 defeats came against Azarenka, which is crazy. She's not playing Azarenka in this match, though, and Xiyu Wang has been a bit below par so far this year.
  17. Leylah Fernandez to beat Paula Badosa at 1.74 with Unibet Badosa somehow made it through R1, but she seems to have constant back issues nowadays, and Fernandez has what it takes to make this physically demanding. Taking this with a one-set bookie, as I can see Badosa retiring as in Hua Hin.
  18. Beatriz Haddad Maia to beat Xinyu Wang at 1.40 with Bet365 Wang has been in an awful form so far this season, while Haddad Maia hasn't done much wrong, and their last weeks went in the opposite directions as well. Hard to see Wang changing the course in such a short period of time.
  19. Elina Avanesyan to beat Anastasija Sevastova at 2.43 with Unibet Avanesyan is a very promising player in my eyes, and having her as such a big underdog against someone who's essentially a part-time player now just seems wrong to me. Sevastova had an easy opponent in the first round, so hard to say where she's at, while Avanesyan has been generally really good so far in 2024.
