The prediction for over 1st Set Games stands at 65.40, suggesting a high-scoring first set is expected. This aligns with Kostovic’s recent performances where she has often extended matches beyond initial expectations. Conversely, the under 1st Set Games is priced at 50.30, indicating a potential for a shorter set if Zolotareva manages to capitalize on her opponent’s errors early on.
Tie Break Probabilities
There is a significant chance of avoiding a tie break in the first set, priced at 91.50. This could be due to either player securing an early lead and maintaining it. However, the odds for no tie break occurring in the entire match are slightly lower at 80.10, reflecting the competitive nature of both players in closely contested points.
