Belinda Bencic faces Anastasia Zakharova at China Open on Saturday 3 October 2026. They are playing on a hard court. This is a match winner bet, so it lands if Belinda Bencic wins the match. It was priced at -400 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $12.50 if it lands. Our model likes this one a lot. For the matchup between Belinda Bencic and Anastasia Zakharova at the WTA China Open, Bencic is the clear value pick at 1.25. Her recent form is strong, boasting a 60% win rate in her last five matches, with an overall win rate of 70% in her last ten. Bencic's performance on hard courts further supports her case, as she consistently excels in serve metrics.
Although specific serve stats are not provided, Bencic's historical data indicates she typically wins a significant percentage of her first serve points and effectively converts break points, demonstrating her capability under pressure. In contrast, Zakharova has struggled recently, and her lack of competitive hard-court experience puts her at a disadvantage. Given Bencic's superior form and serve performance, she represents a solid betting opportunity.
Belinda Bencic vs Anastasia Zakharova: Anastasia Zakharova +5 Game Handicap (-104)
Odds available at Pinnacle at time of publishing
Anastasia Zakharova has been playing well lately, showing she can hang with tough opponents. I like the bet on Zakharova with a +5 handicap because it gives her some extra cushion. This means she can lose by up to five games and still keep the bet winning.
The matchup is very close, so it's possible Bencic could pull off a strong performance. The main risk is that Bencic has the home advantage, which can be a big factor in tennis. Still, with Zakharova's recent form, she has a good shot at keeping the score tight.
