Is it a good sign that I couldn’t begin my article quickly enough for this match? The instant I saw -125 odds for Pegula to win this match, I knew we would find a nicer line somewhere, and I did just that.

Pinnacle has -112 odds on the -1 with Pegula, which is I asked you the question.

Pegula looked so comfortable yesterday against Samsonova, and the opening set sweep at  6 – 0 was impressive. Granted, it was Liudmila Samsonova, who certainly needs to get her game in shape, but the second set went to 6 – 4 before the American sent her packing.

Pegula was a quarterfinalist in her first appearance in Dubai in 2021, and appeared in the semifinals in 2023. 

Noskova was pushed to her limits against Diana Shnaider in the second round, and we were almost talking about a different match today. The Czech Republic native needed three sets to advance past Shnaider after a first-set tie-break win and a 6 – 4 second-frame loss.

The weather wasn’t very cooperative during Noskova’s match because of a couple of stoppages affecting the match. Noskova went down 0 – 2 in the final set before bouncing back and finding the win against the 11-seed.

Pegula should be favored at -150, but if the line setters want to leave us this much room, we don’t argue. The -1 is a steal, and the -1.5 is only -115 at numerous outlets. The 2 – 0 sweep offers odds at +175, and should be a consideration for some extra value!
