Paula Badosa vs Talia Gibson Prediction & Picks - WTA Australian Open
by Lou Aguila | in Tennis Picks
Paula Badosa of Spain will gun for a place in the third round of the 2025 Australian Open against Talia Gibson of Australia on Wednesday in Melbourne, Australia. Badosa punched her way to the second round with a tough second-set win over Xinyu Wang of China 6-3 7-6(5). The Spaniard banked on her service game to win 34 points off her first serves. She also converted all three breakpoint chances while showing nerves of steel to survive a thrilling tiebreaker in the second set. Gibson also overcame a rough opening match against 3-6 7-6(5) 6-1 Zeynep Gomez of Turkey. After an error-plagued first set, Gibson managed to regain her composure and level the match at 1-1 after coming out on top of another nerve-wracking tiebreaker in the second set. Sensing that Gomez was slowly crumbling under pressure, Gibson secured three breakpoints in the third set to pull away from Gomez.

Our Paula Badosa vs Talia Gibson Prediction
Paula Badosa will win this match by at least seven games. Badosa had a subpar showing in the warmup tournaments, winning only one of three matches. Badosa’s performance in her first-round duel with Wang wasn’t as smooth as she wanted to be, but she nevertheless showcased her class when everything was on the line. Gibson, who had spent most of last year competing in ITF and Challenger tournaments, has never faced a top-20 opponent. Playing Badosa is a huge opportunity for her to see the level she’s at right now as a player. Our betting prediction for Paula Badosa vs. Talia Gibson: Badosa will cover -6.5 games.
