Odds as of 7:00 am UK Time on February 24, 2025. Odds may now differ.

Sorana Cirstea and Laura Siegemund are going the distance, and that concludes our preview for this first-round affair in Austin.

Okay, I will give you more but point to a three-set thriller between Sorana Cirstea and Laura Siegemund to kick off this WTA250 event in the Great State of Texas.

The weather will shift to warmer temperatures this week, and the tournament in Austin will have 70-degree days after the cold front that consumed the entire nation. It was only 62 during the conclusion of qualifying on Sunday so the timing for main draw action couldn’t get much better.

Cirstea and Siegemund have only met once since 2019 and I highly doubt either of them remembers their first encounter in 2016. The heads-up stuff doesn’t give us much to go with, but my gut tells me we are going the distance, and I try not to argue with myself, HA!

BetMGM is posting -425 odds for Cirstea to win any set in this match, but Siegemund isn’t far behind at -200 to do the same. If you plan on paying -200 to get $50 for your $100, stop betting on sports!

Cirstea is following up a nice run in Dubai that included three wins against Kasatkina, Parks, and Emma Navarro before falling to Karolina Muchova in the quarterfinals.

Siegemund defeated Qinwen Zheng in the first Major of the season, although her last effort against Cristina Bucsa in Doha was less than inspiring!

They will both win a set and we get the value behind a +139 on the Over 2.5 sets when they get there.

Sorana Cirstea is ranked 89th on the WTA tour, eight spots behind her 81st-ranked opponent today.
