🇯🇵 Moyuka Uchijima: Bagel Machine in Trouble
Moyuka Uchijima endured a punishing 2025 season, dropping three sets 0-6 and 14 sets 1-6, ending her campaign on a four-match losing streak. Uchijima is a scrapper, and with six of her previous 10 matches going the distance, she’s usually a good set-spread bet or an Over wager.
🇳🇱 Suzan Lamens: Chaos on Court
Suzan Lamens lost four sets 0-6 and nine sets 1-6, with several early retirements and a three-match losing streak to end her season. Only two of her previous 10 matches lasted more than three sets, making her matches ripe for Under wagers.
🇺🇸 Sofia Kenin: The High-Risk Season
2020 Australian Open champion Sofia Kenin’s 2025 campaign included five bagels and eight breadsticks lost. With no early retirements, her season suggests Under betting is often the smart play on her matches.
🇺🇸 Alycia Parks: Inconsistency Amplified
Alycia Parks dropped four bagels and eight breadsticks without any early retirements. She went 19-30 on the season, fueled by a whopping 296 double-faults. Parks is someone you typically bet against when she’s favored, or look to the Over due to her massive service game.
🇬🇧 Emma Raducanu: Heat and Hardship
Former US Open champion Emma Raducanu lost two bagels and 10 breadsticks, with one early retirement and 13 career retirements. She dropped five of her final six matches before ending her season, making her a player to bet against when favored.
