Madison Brengle and Caroline Garcia meet in the first round of the 2023 tennis Eastbourne International. Let’s preview this game and give out a pick and prediction.

Madison Brengle Betting Preview

Madison Brengle qualified for this tournament after beating Barbora Strycova and Caroline Dolehide. Brengle now looks for her first win on the main tour since Charleston back in April. Before qualifying, Brengle was riding a 5-match losing streak, with 2 of those losses coming in ITF play and another loss was failing to qualify for Birmingham. Needless to say, Brengle could use a confidence boosting performance, and it would be even better against a top-10 player. Brengle has 4 career wins over top-10 players. Brengle has lost 8 of her last 10 matches on grass court.

Caroline Garcia Betting Preview

Caroline Garcia is coming off a quarterfinal performance in Berlin and has won 8 of her last 13 matches overall. Garcia just ran into the eventual champion in Petra Kvitova, but she was competitive in the loss, where she hit 9 aces and won 58 percent of her total service points. Garcia does have some history in Eastbourne, as she won the doubles title here in 2015 with Katarina Srebotnik. Garcia has not lost an opening match since Miami, which was 3 months ago. Garcia has won 8 of her last 10 matches on grass court. 

H2H History

Garcia has won 4 of the 5 meetings against Brengle, including winning the most recent match in the 2020 Australian Open. Brengle’s lone win was 2015 Stuttgart. This will be the second match on grass (2017 Wimbledon). Three of the 5 meetings went the distance. 

Randy’s Pick

Brengle just isn’t in any shape or form trustworthy in this spot given her struggles these last few months. Garcia is playing well at the moment and that includes pushing Kvitova in a competitive straight sets loss. Garcia is somebody who could make another deep run this tournament. I don’t see Brengle being much of an issue.

Give me Garcia in straight sets for max betting value.
