Betting Tips
Saturday’s round-of-16 slip in Toronto returned one leg from four. Iga Świątek did her job; Pegula, Sabalenka and Anisimova all went out on the same afternoon, two of them to the seeds directly below them. The settled card is below. This week’s selections have moved on to the quarter-finals in our Week 2 acca.
For the wider picture, our National Bank Open preview breaks down the draw, the National Bank Open betting tips page carries the outright angles, and there is a prize money breakdown plus a live stream guide. The hub is at National Bank Open.
How Wednesday’s Slip Landed: 4/4
All four legs came in, though two of them the hard way.
- Elena Rybakina beat Daria Kasatkina 6-3, 5-7, 6-4 — two hours 32 minutes, and the only leg that went to a deciding set on its own merit.
- Jessica Pegula beat Magdalena Frech 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 after dropping the opening set, then racing 4-0 clear in the decider.
- Coco Gauff beat Kayla Day 6-2, 7-5, three breaks in the first and a nervier finish than the scoreline suggests.
- Naomi Osaka beat Panna Udvardy, the value leg, and the least troubled of the four.
Saturday’s Acca: How the Four Legs Finished — 1/4
Taken from the official WTA order of play for Saturday 8 August, when every singles match was on Centre Court. Results are shown against each leg.
Leg 1 — Iga Świątek to beat Marta Kostyuk — won 3-6, 6-1, 6-2
Centre Court, from 12:30pm. The No. 7 seed against the No. 10, which flatters Kostyuk more than the gap between them deserves on a hard court. Świątek has the heavier ball and the better second-serve return, and this is the leg the slip is anchored on.
Leg 2 — Jessica Pegula to beat Diana Shnaider — lost 3-6, 3-6
Centre Court, following the opener. Pegula has already had to come from a set down once this week and looked better for it. Shnaider is the more explosive player and the more erratic one; over three sets on a quick court, the steadier game usually tells.
Leg 3 — Aryna Sabalenka to beat Ekaterina Alexandrova — lost 7-6(3), 4-6, 6-4
Centre Court, not before 7:00pm. The top seed against the No. 16, in a night session that suits Sabalenka’s ball-striking. Alexandrova can take a set off anyone when her first serve lands, but sustaining it for two against this opponent is another matter.
Leg 4 — Amanda Anisimova to beat Elina Svitolina — lost 2-6, 4-6
Centre Court, closing the night. Being straight about this one: it is the coin-flip of the four, seeds eight and nine, and it is the leg most likely to cost you the slip. Anisimova gets the nod on hard-court ball-striking alone. If you prefer a three-leg version, this is the one to leave out.
A note on prices: we are not quoting odds on this slip because the Toronto markets were still moving when it was written. Check the current price on each leg before you place it — the selections are the tip, not the number.
This slip has settled. Tuesday’s quarter-final selections are in our Week 2 acca.
