Peyton Stearns vs Victoria Azarenka Prediction & Picks - WTA Miami

 by Bradley Gibbs | in Tennis Picks

Another of the homegrown players to be involved at the WTA event in Miami this week is Peyton Stearns, who over the last season or so has emerged as one to watch for US tennis fans. She has what appears to be a tough match here against former world number one and two-time Grand Slam champion Victoria Azarenka, but the American is a player who can certainly tussle with the big dogs on her day, so don't be surprised if she puts up a real fight here.

Peyton Stearns - Victoria Azarenka Key Points

  1. Azarenka has lost two of her last four matches against lower ranked players.
  2. Stearns has won two of her last three matches against players currently above her in the rankings.
  3. Stearns has also won three of her last five matches against players ranked above her.
  4. Stearns recently pushed world number two Sabalenka all the way at the WTA Indian Wells, which bodes well ahead of this match.

Our Peyton Stearns vs Victoria Azarenka Prediction

The early market clearly expects the Belarusian to win this match, but does she really warrant being such a strong favorite against a good player, who is worthy of respect on home soil? I'd argue not. Therefore, betting on Stearns to come out on top is a bet that offers us some value. The 22-year-old has youth on her side here, while she also has more recent match experience and that experience was a solid straight-set win over Yafan Wang. Prior to that, she pushed world number two Sabalenka all the way to a third-set tie break, which shows that she's a player to be taken very seriously, even by the best in the business. At 34, Azarenka is probably not quite the player she was and we've seen her lose in this hard-court season against lower ranked players. Moreover, when she recently played Sabalenka, she put up nowhere near as good of a fight as Stearns did, which ultimately leads me to think that the American is a good bet here. Our prediction for Peyton Stearns vs Victoria Azarenka: victory for Peyton Stearns!
