The WTA Tour is racing along at a hectic pace this year. Straight after the US Open, a 500-level event kicked off in San Diego. Now, less than a week after the final Grand Slam of the year, a Masters 1000-level tournament is getting underway in Guadalajara. It’s no wonder that plenty of big names are opting to sit this one out, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t still plenty of great betting to be had. Read on for our WTA Guadalajara Open 2023 predictions.
With Ons Jabeur leading the field as the top seed in Guadalajara this week, another prime opportunity exists for those who fared poorly on the US hard courts to grab some cheap points ahead of the season’s end in six weeks’ time.
No Swiatek, Sabalenka, Rybakina, Gauff, or Pegula will be present in Mexico, so who will stand tall and claim this Masters 1000 title? We break down the latest 2023 tennis Guadalajara Open odds to find out.
| ℹ️ Tournament: | 2023 Guadalajara Open Akron, 2023 WTA Tour (non-mandatory Masters 1000) |
| 🏟️ Venues: | Panamerican Tennis Centre, Zapopan, Jalisco, Mexico (hard court) |
| 🗓️ Dates: | Sunday 17 September to Sunday 24 September |
Before we get into our tennis Guadalajara Open betting tips for women’s event, let’s look at what bookies in Mexico have to say about this tournament. Here are the latest odds ahead of this event:
In the absence of the top six players in the world, Ons Jabeur leads the betting at 8.00 (7/1). Behind her, American and US Open semi-finalist Madison Keys pays 9.00 (8/1), while Jelena Ostapenko and Danielle Collins are joint third on 12.00 (11/1). Rounding out the top five betting favorites is Maria Sakkari, a quarter-finalist in San Diego last week at 13.00 (12/1).
This will be only the second edition of the Guadalajara Open, with Mexico being awarded the WTA 1000 event after the WTA Tour pulled out of China in 2021. Played on hard courts soon after the US Open, many look at it as a continuation of the North American hard court swing.
With Pegula opting not to defend her title, can Sakkari go one step further than last year and lift her first title in 1,598 days? Read on for our 2023 Guadalajara Open tennis predictions.
Ons Jabeur to Win @ 8.00 (7/1)
0
(100%) 2
Heading into the post-US Open swing, Ons Jabeur was in fine form. Surprisingly, she suffered an early upset in San Diego last week, but that doesn’t alter our view that Jabeur is the best bet to claim this tournament. Simply put, she’s by far the most consistent woman in this draw, with the other contenders being painfully hot and cold.
Jabeur, excluding last week’s misnomer, has consistently made deep runs over recent months, making the final of Wimbledon, quarters of Cincinnati, and round of 16 at the US Open before this. Expect her to be focused and motivated after an early loss in San Diego and take full advantage of her biggest rivals having their feet up this week.
Beatriz Haddad Maia to Beat Danielle Collins in First Round @ 2.30 (13/10)
2 (67%)
(33%) 1
One player who we don’t think will be able to keep it going this week is Danielle Collins. The American had a brilliant run in San Diego as well, knocking out Jelena Ostapenko and Caroline Garcia en route to the semi-finals. However, we know how notoriously difficult it is to back up strong performances week after week, and Haddad Maia is a tough opponent for Collins to face first up in Mexico. Expect an upset here, with the Brazilian winning in three.
The WTA Tour just keeps marching on in 2023, with a Masters 1000 event this week devoid of the world’s best six players. We say this will benefit Wimbledon finalist Ons Jabeur, who should be a cut above the rest of the draw in Guadalajara to claim her second WTA 1000 title this week. Those who can’t wait too long for a payout can look at wagering on Beatriz Haddad Maia vs Danielle Collins, where we say the American will get upset early after a deep run in San Diego.
