Prop Bets: Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova VS Victoria Azarenka 2025-08-27
Prediction: Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova vs. Victoria Azarenka – US Open 2025
“The Queen of Consistency” meets “The Former Champion Trying to Remember Her Name.” Let’s serve up the stats like a well-angled backhand.
The Odds (as of 12:53 PM ET):
- Pavlyuchenkova is the consensus favorite, with decimal odds hovering around 1.61-1.67 (implied probability: 61-63%).
- Azarenka is the underdog at 2.25-2.40 (implied probability: 42-45%).
- Spread: Pavlyuchenkova is -2.5 sets (you’ll need her to win in straight sets or risk a very awkward Instagram post).
- Total Games Line: 21.5-22.5 games, with the Under favored. Bookmakers clearly haven’t seen Azarenka’s 2023 doubles final tantrum.
Why Pavlyuchenkova?
She’s riding a Russian Grand Slam surge (10 Russians in Round 2! How? Is this the WTA or a Matryoshka tournament?). Her 1.61 odds scream “boring but reliable,” like a tennis version of a spreadsheet. Azarenka, meanwhile, is the “former No. 1 who now needs a reminder email to remember she’s a champion.”
Player Props?
None listed here, but if you’re betting on Azarenka’s double faults, good luck—she’s got a 2023 Svitolina-level meltdown waiting to happen.
Final Verdict:
Pavlyuchenkova in 2 sets. Azarenka will win exactly 0 break points in the first set and spend the rest of the match wondering if she’s still in the right decade.
“The only thing older than Azarenka’s US Open title is her phone contract.” 🎾💥
