Tatjana Maria holds a 2-0 H2H advantage over Dayana Yastremska, both in straight sets, and enters with superior recent form (11-4 vs 8-7).

Back Maria to win the match at 1.95 odds for a 10.7-point edge, but avoid the straight-sets and total games markets due to hard-court uncertainty and Yastremska's longer match trends.

Markets to Avoid

High-risk markets where price or context leaves too little cushion.

Under 21.5 looks tempting given H2H history, but Yastremska's recent matches average 119.9 minutes and Maria's hard-court matches this window average 105.3 minutes, suggesting a longer match than the line implies.
