The pregame narrative:<\/strong> The Canadian has dealt with a staggering amount of injury concerns over the last couple of years. That’s the main reason I’m fading Andreescu in her opening match on Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best Bet: Kessler to win (-103)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Andreescu is the better player when at her best, but it’s been a while since we’ve seen the Canadian at the top of her game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She missed most of 2024 with a lingering back issue and had her 2025 start delayed due to another procedure earlier in the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In her first match back on April 16, Andreescu lost to Suzan Lamens, the No. 73-ranked WTA player, on a clay surface (6-1, 4-6, 7-6).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, she plays No. 43-ranked Kessler. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 25-year-old American is 2-7 in her last nine matches on clay (0-1 in 2025) but is 17-9 overall this season. She also has a positive career record on the playing surface (20-19).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her activity is what should give her the edge. She’s played 87 matches since the start of 2024. Compare that to Andreescu, who played 22 matches during that same timeframe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the results just haven’t been good. The former US Open champ went 11-11 during that time. It’s hard to justify betting on the Canadian right now, so I’ll take a shot on the underdog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key stat:<\/strong> Kessler is 16-3 against opponents ranked outside the top 30 in 2025. Andreescu currently ranks as the No. 132 player on tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
