US Open WTA Doubles Predictions: Christina McHale and Heather Watson - Stats & Current Form

McHale and Watson have been united since a 2014 meeting in Osaka tournament. The duo did participate in the Nottingham Open back in June. They were able to reach the semifinals of the tournament before being knocked out by Jocelyn Rae/Laura Robson. US Open WTA doubles betting tips are not in huge favour of this duo managing to come out successful in this game. Christina McHale has not had a great doubles career and she has failed to get past the first round of the US Open on two occasions. Watson also has a mediocre record in the doubles game of the US Open, as she has failed to get past the second round. Latest matches

US Open WTA Doubles Betting Tips for September 1

Under 19.5 Games @ 6/7 Betway

Christina McHale/Heather Watson are not seen as favourites by the US Open betting ahead of the first round. The duo have played little tennis together and this may have a major impact – especially when going against the pairing of Safarova/Strycova. The Czech Republic pair have been playing together for several tournaments. Their recent strong showings at the Cincinnati Masters are a major sign of a reasonably successful 2017 US Open. The US Open WTA doubles odds recommend going with this selection but the price of backing Safarova/Strycova @ 1/7 with Betway is too short. We suggest going for Under 19.5 Games @ 6/7 with Betway since McHale and Watson will definitely fight back, but not enough and the match will probably be short.

2 Sets @ 30/100 Betway

Safarova/Strycova have been going through relatively comfortable matches in the last few months. Their games at the Rogers Cup and the Cincinnati Masters witnessed under three sets. The reasonable form shown by the pair is a reason for the total of two sets looking attractive in the US Open betting odds. It is possible to back this selection @ 30/100 with Betway. McHale/Watson have struggled in terms of finishing off their opponents and are not expected to last long against the Czech Republic pair.
