Veronika Kudermetova vs Bianca Andreescu Best Bet: Wednesday, January 4th
What a win to extend the win streak to open the season on our women’s selections to three. Qinwen Zheng was cruising to victory, having led 6-1, 4-2, before a second set collapse meant she needed to win a tight 9-7 third set tiebreak to cash that bet.
Moving to Tuesday, as we look to another match in Adelaide, between Veronika Kudermetova and Bianca Andreescu

Veronika Kudermetova vs Bianca Andreescu Preview
January 4th, 8:00 (UK Time)
In what is a loaded Adelaide field for this 500 level event, the second round gives us another matchup of strong players in Kudermetova and Andreescu.
That said, this isn’t as close of a matchup for me as the betting markets would have you believe.
The Russian has been the more consistent of the two for a while (reflected in her top-10 ranking) and for my money has a more dynamic and repeatable game than her Canadian counterpart.
Her first serve is stronger and a sneaky weapon for the 25-year-old, her forehand can dial up as much pace as Andreescu’s, but with more consistency, and her incredible doubles career to this point has helped her develop a strong game at net to add some variety to her game.
After a dominant performance against Amanda Anisimova in the first round and an underwhelming outing from Andreescu – the Canadian had to come back from 0-6, 2-5 down against Garbine Muguruza, who has been rather poor for a year now – and I’m happy to back the more in-form, well-rounded player.
Veronika Kudermetova vs Bianca Andreescu Best Bet
Considering the fact that Andreescu has had issues sustaining success for a while, and has also dealt with injuries on a consistent basis of late, I’m happy to take Kudermetova at this price.
One can’t put too much stock in a single match either, but the polar opposite performances in the first round should also inspire more confidence in the Russian to get the win here and move into the quarterfinals.
- Selection: Kudermetova to win
- Odds: 1.75 (Pinnacle)
- Stakes: 5/10
Odds as at 7:45 am on January 3rd, 2022. Odds may now differ.
