Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction One – Handicap (+4) for Hibino – 1.52.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Games Over 21 – 1.89.
Nao has had a solid three-match winning streak in India and is clearly in no way inferior to her Chinese rival.
In their head-to-head encounter in New York, the two players played 25 games in three sets. The two players are expected to have a tough match today as well.
Nao Hibino has been out of the top 100 for a long time and is unlikely to return there anytime soon. At the moment, she is in 185th place in the world ranking. Repeated injuries have made their impact. She has twice withdrawn from matches in the last three tournaments.
In India so far things are going very well for Nao. The tennis player has played three matches including qualification and has not lost a single set. In the first round of the main draw, she defeated Jana Fett (6-0, 6-4) in two sets.
Hibino has won 7 of her last 8 matches played in Asia.
The former world #12 is fighting for a return to the top 100. Qiang Wang is currently ranked only 101st in the WTA rankings.
It should be noted that in recent tournaments, the Chinese tennis player showed herself quite well. In Prague and Concord, she had exits to the semifinals. However, in the US Open, she failed to overcome qualifications. In this match, Qiang Wang lost to Hibino (6-3, 3-6, 1-6). In the first round of the Chennai Open, Wang defeated Yanina Wickmayer (6-4, 1-6, 6-4) in a tough three-set match.
Wang has won 6 of her last 7 matches at the WTA-250 level.
In their two head-to-head encounters, less than 9.5 games were played in the second set. We offer to bet on “2nd Set Games – Under 9.5” with odds of 1.56.
