Sabalenka v Paolini Match Winning Odds*
- Sabalenka to win: 1/10 (with bet365)
- Paolini to win: 5/1 (with bet365)
Sabalenka Scrapes Past Boulter
After dropping just three games in her first round win over Sofia Kenin, Sabalenka met a serious piece of resistance from Britain’s Katie Boulter before she could advance.
Sabalenka was on court for two hours and 33 minutes, faced 12 break-points and dropped her serve twice in her 7-5, 7-6 (2) win over Boulter.
What was interesting to note is that Sabalenka herself had 12 breaking chances but took only three of them but all of them came at the most crucial juncture of the first set. This was when the world number one was 4-5 down with her opponent serving for the set.
Instead, Sabalenka broke her twice to grab the set before breaking her while being down 4-5.
The Belarusian will hope to do better than this come the third round.

Paolini in Another Three-Setter
A quarterfinalist at the Cincinnati Open, that was also the last time that Paolini had won back to back matches in a tournament. Since getting to the last eight stage, Paolini had played seven matches and won just two before this tournament.
She seems to have turned that around here having won successive encounters here including one against Beatriz Haddad Maia in the first round despite going in as a 9/5 underdog (with 888Sport).
Paolini clinched that from being a set down and much like that, she overcame Yue Yuan in three sets too in the second round after having lost the first set.
In a match lasting two hours and 10 minutes, Paolini overcame three breaks of serves in the first set to register a 2-6, 6-3, 6-4 victory over her Chinese opponent and seal off a third round berth. Can she now take the same fighting spirit into this next round?
Sabalenka v Paolini Prediction and Tip
How much difference a year or so can make. Just last year at the Indian Wells Open, Paolini had defeated Sabalenka. This time around, Sabalenka enters this match as a 1/10 favourite! While we believe she will be a favourite, Sabalenka could face some resistance here with Paolini even pushing to win a set.
