Karolina Muchova vs. Aryna Sabalenka
Elina Svitolina vs. Mirra Andreeva
It isn’t exactly “sharp” to parlay two favorites, but sometimes you have to check it down and pick up some easy yards.
Sabalenka opened at -171 at DraftKings Sportsbook but has been bet up to -206 — a move that suggests there could be some sharp action on her. The Belarusian has been so good at this venue throughout her career, and she poses some serious problems for Muchova. While Muchova has one of the most aesthetically pleasing games in the world, she can occasionally struggle against players who simply out-talent her. That’s exactly what we could see here. Sabalenka has a massive edge in the power department, and she should have a much easier time hitting through the slower conditions in the desert.
In the other match, we’ll see two players who like to defend and counterpunch, but one is just better at it than the other. That would be Andreeva, who also happens to own the best baseline weapon in this match: her backhand. Andreeva also appears to be getting some support in the betting market, as our betting splits pages show she opened at -169 and has been bet up to -189.
PARLAY: Sabalenka ML & Andreeva ML (+132)

I usually have A LOT MORE on the Pro Picks page. These plays count towards my record and have been a big part of my success this season. Make sure you check them out. I’ll probably add a few more over there, so refresh that page throughout the day if you’re looking for action. That’s also where I put my Challenger-level plays, as well as picks for lower level ATP and WTA events.
