Given the surface, Martic will be able to hold on to her serve most of the time and cover the spread.
First set over 8.5 games @ 13/20 (1.65)
Gauff is a major favorurite in this match which is evident by the odds. The 8.5 line on the opening set is pretty low and if we look at their previous match, all three sets went over 8.5.
