Let&#8217;s take a look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Round of 16 best bet<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Best bet: Mboko +1.5 sets (-134)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The 18-year-old has held 77% of her service points at the National Bank Open compared to Gauff, who&#8217;s held 63% of her serves.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Mboko also has the power advantage, serving 1.1 aces per game while Gauff recorded just 0.25 through two matches.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>That should make her tough to break, which will lead to games adding up in her favour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The aspiring star does her best work on this playing surface. She&#8217;s 15-2 on outdoor hardcourts and 19-1 on indoor hardcourts this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, Gauff has struggled to this point in the tournament, needing all three sets to get past each of her first two opponents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mboko won two of three matches in straight sets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.com\/sportsbook\/sports\/tennis\/matches\/today\">Full Mboko vs. Gauff betting markets<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means, despite playing one less match, Gauff has played almost an hour more of tennis to reach the round of 16.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That also presumably gives the Canadian the stamina advantage in this match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I believe Mboko is a live dog in this contest, and I&#8217;ll gladly back her to win a set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When these two met in May, Gauff won in three sets. However, that was contested on clay, which is the American&#8217;s best surface (73.1% win rate).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat:<\/strong> This time around, it will be Mboko who is on her best court type as she has a 76.3% win rate in her career across all hard courts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Mboko vs. Gauff odds and best bet as of 5:04 p.m. ET on 08\/01\/2025.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Victoria Mboko will see the world No. 2-ranked player, Coco Gauff, in the round of 16 at the National Bank Open.
