Qinwen Zheng takes on Aryna Sabalenka in the Australian Women’s Open Singles final on Saturday and we take a look at the match from a betting angle.
QINWEN ZHENG
12th Seed, Zheng is coming off a convincing victory in the semi-final against the unseeded Yastremska. Both sets went to Zheng 6-4, 6-4. She had been pushed to 3 sets in her quarter-final against Kalinskaya and also in her first and third round matches against Krueger and Wang respectively.
This will be Zheng’s first Grand Slam Final.
ARYNA SABALENKA
2nd Seed, Sabalenka also advanced to the final in straight sets, beating 4th seed, Gauff 7-6, 6-4 and Sabalenka has yet to drop a set on her road to the Final and up until the semi-final when she conceded 10 games the maximum total games in a match she has lost was 5.
Sabalenka has an excellent record in Australia in general and she is the defending Women’s Champion.

Zheng 4/1
Sabalenka 1/5
Zheng is playing some excellent tennis, but she is running in to Sabalenka who seems to be in the form of her life. I am going to bet that we get some fairly straight forward Sabalenka victory here and with the 1/5 on offer for her to win, far too short for my pocket, I am going to take Sabalenka to win and under 20.5 games in the match.
Suggested Bet: Winner and Totals, Sabalenka and under 20.5 games at 19/20
