Anca Todoni vs Alycia Parks Prediction: Romanian Riding A Hot Hand

• Prediction: Anca Todoni -3 Games Handicap
• Best Odds: -105
• Bookmaker: Pinnacle
• Stakes: 3/10

Odds updated on June 20th 2024. 

Romanian native Anca Alexia Todoni didn’t start playing full-time tennis until 2022, and if you weren’t sure her best surface is clay and it isn’t even close. 

Todoni has played one match on grass in her entire life, and it just happened on Tuesday against 86th-ranked Jessica Bouzas Maneiro. The 19-year-old blasted out 6 aces and was only broken once in the win at 2 & 4 in the first round.

After taking the Bari Challenger to finish her clay swing, Todoni is riding a 6-match win streak into this affair, and at -175 the line setters like her chances to progress to the quarters. 

I like the Romanian’s chances to advance, but we don’t play around with that kind of juice here so we turn to the -3 Games handicap. At -105 on the early line, I hope it doesn’t move closer to -3.5 when you wake up and see this article.

When these lines first came out, I copied them and can show you it was -155 on the Tadoni Moneyline and -2 on the handicap. The lines have already moved a bit, so the sooner you get your bets in the better.

Alycia Parks entered Italy ranked 148th on the WTA Tour, and it has been a season of decline for the American who was ranked as high as 75th in 2022. Now she is fighting to stay in the top 150 because a loss today would likely send her further down the board.

I am excited to see how Todoni plays today, and I hope she plays well enough to cover the -3 to continue this upswing in her young career with a second win on the grass. My Todoni vs Parks prediction is for Todoni to cover the handicap.

ANCA ALEXIA TODONI RECENT FORM

Todoni finished the clay swing with a title at the Bari Challenger, and now she carries a 6-match win streak into Thursday’s second-round clash with Parks.

It is a mystery to us all how Todoni will keep her composure playing only her second match on the grass as a big favorite to keep the run going.

Todoni was 15 – 6 in 21 clay events alone, and Parks’ record is 5 – 16 this season!

ALYCIA PARKS RECENT FORM

Alycia Parks has won 5 of her 21 matches in 2024 and has tumbled down the rankings.  Now at 148th in the world, Parks is 7 – 8 on grass in her career, and she barely escaped with a third-set tie-break win over 419th-ranked Anna Siskova in qualifying.  

It was a rough outing against 282nd-ranked Elvina Kalieva in the first round, as Parks advanced 7 – 6 and 7 – 5 which isn’t exactly convincing to anyone.

This will be the first meeting between Todoni and Parks on any surface.
