Prop Bets: Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova VS Sonay Kartal 2025-07-06
Wimbledon Whimsy: Sonay Kartal vs. Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova
Prediction: A "Double" Dose of Drama
The odds say Pavlyuchenkova is the favorite (1.85-1.95 implied probability: ~51-54%), but Sonay Kartal’s home-crowd hype and three-match winning streak make this a closer call than a Wimbledon final. Let’s break it down:
- Pavlyuchenkova’s Edge: The 34-year-old Russian has experience (12-9 2025 record) and grass-court improvement, but her double-fault struggles? Oh, they’re a golden opportunity for Kartal to exploit.
- Kartal’s Chance: The 23-year-old British hope (19-14 record) has won her last two matches and leads the tournament in break points won. If she can pressure Pavlyuchenkova’s serve, the “Under 21.5 games” line (-110 to -120) might be your best bet—this could be a tight, low-scoring set.
Spreads Say…: Bookies are all over the map with lines from +0.5 to +1.5 for Pavlyuchenkova. If you’re feeling lucky, bet her +1.5 at BetRivers (1.72 odds). If not, well, you’re probably better off not betting at all.
Prop Bet Alert: While not in the provided odds, Pavlyuchenkova’s double-fault woes from the news make for a fun hypothetical: “Will Pavlyuchenkova commit more double-faults than Kartal’s age?” (Yes, 34 > 23. Bet accordingly.)
Final Verdict: Pavlyuchenkova in three sets, but only after Kartal gives the home crowd something to cheer about. And if you back the Under 21.5 games? Consider it a “service” to your bankroll.
“Tennis is a game of serves… and double-faults. May the best server win.” 🎾
