Odds as of 7:00 am UK Time on December 9, 2024. Odds may now differ.

The line is even so if you can predict the winner of this first-round affair at Le Open de Limoges you are looking at -110 for Tig or Bolkvadze to advance.

I get why the line setters can’t make a decisive call for this affair because this is the definition of a coin-flip match that either lady can win.

Tig needed three sets to get past Manon Leonard in qualifying to land in the main draw and it was all about the service games to highlight that match. Tig won the first set with one break that brought the score to 5 – 3 and served out to close the frame.

Tig was broken twice in the second set and a quick 6 – 1 win for the 227th-ranked French native forced the Romanian to respond in the final frame with an equal 6 – 1 result.

The 243rd-ranked Bucharest native would be favored at -140 if this were a clay event because that is the surface of choice for Tig.

Mariam Bolkvadze will likely never face Tig on clay because the Georgia native has only played two matches on clay in three years.

I like Bolkvadze to win this match in straight sets and the +190 on the correct score prop will be my bonus offer for this first-round match at Le Open de Limoges. 

That’s how the under will hit with it so count on a pair of plays to bring home the bacon with the Under 21 and Bolkvadze to sweep Tig out of the event.
