Odds available at Betfair at time of publishing
Marta Kostyuk faces Taylor Townsend at Guadalajara Open on Wednesday 16 September 2026. This is a match winner bet, so it lands if Marta Kostyuk wins the match. It was priced at -263 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $13.80 if it lands. Our model likes this one a lot. Marta Kostyuk is the value pick at 1.38 due to her superior recent form and serving metrics. With an impressive 80% win rate over her last five matches, Kostyuk's consistency stands out. In contrast, Taylor Townsend's performance against opponents shows vulnerability, with an average of 64.8% on first-serve points won and only 35.4% on second serves. Kostyuk's ability to pressure her opponents is further illustrated by Townsend's 51.7% break point save rate, indicating difficulty in high-pressure situations. Additionally, the surface context suggests favorable conditions for Kostyuk, making her a strong moneyline pick.

Odds available at Pinnacle at time of publishing
Marta Kostyuk has been playing well lately, but Taylor Townsend is no slouch either. With a good chance of winning, taking Taylor Townsend with a +4 handicap looks solid. This means she can lose by up to four games and still cover the bet.
However, Townsend has shown she can hang tough in close matches, so this bet is worth a shot.
Marta Kostyuk vs Taylor Townsend: Under 21.5 Total Games (-111)
Odds available at Pinnacle at time of publishing
Marta Kostyuk and Taylor Townsend are both strong players, but their recent matches suggest they might not push the total games too high. With both players capable of winning points quickly, betting on under 21.5 total games seems reasonable.
Our numbers show this matchup is very close to a coin flip, meaning it could go either way. The most concrete risk here is that the combined total we expect is just over 22, so it could be a nail-biter.
Marta Kostyuk vs Taylor Townsend: Over 9.5 Set 1 Total Games (+108)
Odds available at BetRivers at time of publishing
Marta Kostyuk and Taylor Townsend both have strong games that can lead to long rallies and hard-fought points. This makes it likely that they will play some competitive games in the first set, especially since our numbers see it as a close match. I'm betting on the total games in Set 1 to go over 9.5.
The risk here is that both players have moments where they can struggle with their serve, which might lead to a quick set. However, given how evenly matched they are, it seems likely they'll push each other, making for a longer first set.
