Partner Content | Parks vs. Fernandez Bad Homburg Open picks and odds: Fade Canadian on the grass

There’s simply no value in betting on Fernandez in this match.

Although she’s experiencing plenty of doubles success this year, her work as a singles competitor isn’t overly impressive. She’s 17-13 overall with only eight of those wins coming at the WTA 250 level or higher in non-qualifying matches.

Parks isn’t having a banner year, either, dropping four consecutive matches ahead of this one including a pair on grass. The simple fact that she’s played on grass this year, however, supplies her with a bit of an edge over her opponent.

Fernandez hasn’t played a singles match on this surface since 2021.

The Canadian has only played three matches on grass in her entire singles career, boasting an underwhelming 1-2 record.

Fernandez’s status as a -200 favourite makes it very difficult to find any markets worth touching. As a result, we’re going to side with Parks.

Key stat: Although Parks is 0-2 on the grass in 2023, she did go 4-4 on the green last year.

Quick pick

Over 2.5 sets (+138) : We don’t see either competitor coming out and dominating, and therefore we’ll take the plus-money odds on this match going the distance.
