Betting Predictions

Under 1st Set Games

The odds of under 1st set games at 55.70 suggest that both players are capable of strong starts but might struggle to dominate early sets. Ignatjeva’s baseline dominance could lead to longer rallies, while Haavisto’s net play might create quicker points. However, neither player is expected to pull away decisively in the first set.

Tie Break in 1st Set (No)

With a high probability of no tie break in the first set at 96.10, it’s likely that one player will secure a two-game advantage before reaching a tie break. This aligns with the expectation of a closely contested set without the need for a tie-break scenario.

Tie Break in Match (No)

The likelihood of no tie break in the entire match stands at an even higher probability of 96.20. This indicates that one player is expected to maintain a consistent edge throughout the match, potentially winning sets with more than a one-game difference.

Over 1st Set Games

The odds for over 1st set games are set at 59.70, suggesting that while the first set might not be particularly long, it won’t be overly short either. This reflects the competitive nature of the match, where both players are likely to push each other hard.

Under 2.5 Sets

With odds of 72.60 for under 2.5 sets, there is a strong indication that this match could be decided in straight sets. Both players have shown the ability to close out matches efficiently when they find their rhythm.

Total Games – 3-Way (Under 22)

The prediction for total games under 22 at odds of 56.00 suggests that if one player manages to establish dominance early on, they could secure the match with fewer total games played.

Total Games – 2-Way (Under 22.5)

The odds for total games under 22.5 at 56.80 further support the expectation of a relatively low-scoring match, indicating that one player may have a significant advantage throughout the encounter.
