OddsDigger's Tips
- Maria Sharapova -5.5 @ 4/5 Betway
- Total Sets: 2 @ 30/100 Betway
After Maria Sharapova's performance against Simona Halep two days ago, we can definitely say that US Open WTA odds are in her favour. She played amazingly against one of the best tennis players in the world and won in two sets in that second round, but if we compare Halep with Babos, then this will be an easy win for Maria Sharapova. Timea Babos dropped down in the WTA ranking list and although she is a player with strong shots, she makes a lot of mistakes. Plus, she is in a very bad form having lost a few matches in the recent weeks. Let's see today's tennis betting predictions.

US Open Betting Preview
The first round of the US Open witnessed Maria Sharapova getting the better of Simona Halep in a tight contest. The US Open women predictions now see the Russian going up against Timea Babos in the second round of the US Open 2017. The US Open first-round witnessed Babos getting past Viktorija Golubic in three sets.
Timea Babos - Stats & Current Form
The world number 59 comes into the second round of the US Open after having had a difficult match against Golubic in the first round. Yet, she was able to come on the right side of a 7-5, 5-7, 7-5 game. She has never been able to get past the third round of the US Open, and this was her best ever attempt last year. In fact, getting to the third round of the US Open in 2016 ranks as her best achievement in any Grand Slam to date.

Maria Sharapova - Stats & Current Form
Maria Sharapova displayed tremendous quality to overcome one of the best tennis names in the form of Halep and come out with a 6-4, 4-6, 6-3 win. US Open betting sees that the Russian is looking for her first victory at the US Open since 2006 when she was a global star, and reaching the semi-final in 2012 is her best result since then. Also, Sharapova has not been able to win any Grand Slam since the 2014 French Open. She is one of the few tennis stars in the world to have been successful in every Grand Slam event up until now.

US Open Betting Tips
Maria Sharapova -5.5 @ 4/5 Betway
Sharapova was excellent in her opening round win over Halep. It came against the US Open predictions, as the latter was expected to win quite comfortably due to Sharapova being out of top-level action for a considerable period of time. Yet, the quality that Sharapova displayed in the opening round sees her become a favourite for the victory against Babos.
Even though Babos was able to walk away with a win in her first-round game, there was a considerable amount of struggle. This will be the first time Babos comes up against Sharapova and US Open betting odds place her at a steep 5/1 for a win with Bet365. Odds of Sharapova getting an outright win are too short, so we went for the Games Handicap market instead - Maria Sharapova -5.5 @ 4/5 with Betway.
Total Sets: 2 @ 30/100 Betway
We need to mention in our US Open WTA betting tips that we expect the Russian to comfortably get past Babos on the back of her recent performance in the first round. Babos committed plenty of mistakes in the first round and she does not appear to be in the top form. Therefore, the Total Sets (2 @ 30/100 Betway) market seems appealing - the stark difference of form between the two will see the match end fast. Sharapova is on a high – not just in terms of US Open WTA odds – after managing a win over Halep. We chose Betway in both tips because they offer a great 100% Match Bonus as well as the best odds on tennis here.
