These predictions are aimed at traders rather than punters. When assessing a match, I initially look for 2 things. Who do I think will win and how competitive will the other player be? Use them for straight bets if you wish but please bear in mind that is not what they are intended for.
**For previous rounds, if predictions were correct, I have left them in blue. Corrections are in black. The number in brackets is the confidence rating out of 10 from the Trading Tips email.

WTA Memphis Stephens v Vidmanova 1.60 Due to start at midnight Confidence rating 7/10
1st meeting. Hard win %’s favour Vidmanova.
Stephens had a 3 sets win over Starodubtseva as underdog in the 1st round. She had not won a main draw WTA match on hard since Mach 2024. She has been struggling with injury.
Vidmanova needed 3 sets in the 1st round as favourite. She won a CH title in June. CH semi in Oct. 2nd round in Guadalajara 2025.
12 month WTA stats and stats in 2026 favour Vidmanova overall. Chance of 3 sets. Back Vidmanova around 2.10 to 2.30 and remove liability at 1.70.
Update: As this match was due to start after midnight, I did not trade it. I have rules that I follow when trading matches and I will apply those rules to this match. I can list what I would have done but I will not have access to the Betfair prices.
