🎯 Our pick: Coco Gauff wins
Course: 1.40
2. Bet on number of games (Under/Over)
We are betting on under 2.5 sets. Gauff is leading in head-to-head matches and was able to decide the match in two sets in most of her previous meetings with Cirstea; The bookmaker’s line for Under 2.5 sets is 1.46, which corresponds to the scenario in which the favorite will use the service and return advantage. Statistically, Gauff has a higher winning percentage on the ground (84%), which increases the likelihood of a straighter match.
🎯 Our pick: Under 2.5 sets
Course: 1.46
3. Special type (Exact set score / Win at least 1 set)
For players looking for higher odds, the Over 2.5 Sets option (odds 2.60) makes sense if they expect that Cirstea’s experience and her recent confident 2-0 victory over Ostapenko will extend the competition to three sets. This is a risky but performance-based alternative to Gauff’s favored win.
🎯 Our pick: Over 2.5 sets
Course: 2.60
