Onorato, who holds dual degrees in finance and economics from the University of Miami, does extensive research before placing any tennis bets.

But Onorato also has taken into account that Krejcikova has won both career head-to-head matchups against Rybakina. In the round of 16 at the 2021 Grampians Trophy, Krejcikova upset the fourth-seeded Rybakina in three sets. Then in the semifinals of the 2022 Ostrava Open, Krejcikova won another three-setter over Rybakina en route to winning the title.
