Sabalenka vs Andreeva Prediction 4 January 2025

Will Aryna Sabalenka take her revenge on Mirra Andreeva in the semifinals of the tournament in Brisbane for the frustrating loss she suffered at Roland Garros last summer (1:2)? Sportbooks strongly believe so. The world ranking leader versus the main talent of the new generation - this is how the match, for which a prediction is specially published for you, can be briefly described.

Aryna Sabalenka

Sabalenka is quietly preparing to defend her title at the Australian Open, honing her skills along the way. In 2024, Aryna conquered two majors and two Masters 1000s, essentially becoming the main dominating figure on the tour. Even a shoulder injury didn't knock the Belarusian off track for long. Although she is not in peak condition right now. On these courts, the athlete left no chance for Renata Zarazua, while having some trouble with Yulia Putintseva and Marie Bouzkova.

Mirra Andreeva

Andreeva didn't lose a single set on these courts, spending just four hours and one minute to get through the draw. In 2024, Mirra won one major trophy (Iasi), but her existing potential allows for even more significant achievements. Just before her vacation, the Russian almost clinched the cup in Ningbo (top-2), losing to Daria Kasatkina in a crucial game. Today, however, the tennis player managed to beat Ons Jabeur, albeit with some difficulty with her serve (three breaks and half of the points won on her second attempt).

Editorial Prediction

In our opinion, this match will still be under Sabalenka's control. Due to a simple lack of experience, Andreeva often lacks composure in the crucial stages of competitions, and we believe that she will again make a number of gross errors. A victory for the representative from Belarus with a score of 2-0 in sets is the optimal choice for the match.
