Aryna Sabalenka vs Marketa Vondrousova Prediction and Pick

Sabalenka is the No. 2 seed, but she hasn't been playing like it. She's given up her first set in both of her first two matches and has been forced to flip the switch. Meanwhile, Vondrousova has won both of her matches in straight sets. Yet Sabalenka knows Vondrousova very well. In their last two matches, Sabalenka has won both and has won the last four sets against Vondrousova.

Sabalenka has been sloppy while serving this year. She already has 39 double faults in 2022, compared to 16 for Vondrousova. If she can have a clean serving game, she can make easy work of Vondrousova. Sabalenka is boasting a 69.2 percentage rate when it comes to break points converted. She's winning a lot of points she shouldn't be, which makes her the more dangerous player.

Lean: Sabalenka ML (+130)
