Rogers Cup Women’s Singles QF
Sports betting fans are excited with the return of the hard court play, for these courts bring fast tennis action and even hotter betting odds.
Toronto is definitely having a grand time with the quality of tennis shown by the WTA’s best. Former online betting darling Angelique Kerber is out of the quarter-final picture, proving that the Women’s Singles are still as competitive as ever.
There are new names mixed up among familiar faces, so competition will be interesting. Let’s find out who are worthy of your free bets.
Caroline Wozniacki vs Karolina Pliskova
Karolina Pliskova is enjoying a wonderful year at the top of the ladder, making deep runs in many of this year’s tournaments. Her lack of tournament wins may hurt her pride as the No1 player, but her quality of play this year is undeniable.
She will try to get through a Caroline Wozniacki who is slowly rediscovering her lost form. Wozniacki is also the superior player when it comes to hard-surface matches, so the advantage definitely goes the Dane’s way. It would be a shrewd move to punt for Wozniacki, with her 2.09 odds.
Sloane Stephens vs Lucie Safarova
Sloane Stephens didn’t start her 2017 season until Wimbledon, so it’s understandable why the American is currently ranked 934th in the world. Moreover, her shock dismantling of Angelique Kerber may be pointed to the latter’s struggling form more than anything. However, her quarter-final appearance in the Rogers Cup may help her climb the ladder.
Stephens’ opponent in her first quarter-final in a while is Lucie Safarova, a seasoned vet that has reached good runs in several tournaments this year. While it may be tempting to cheer for the underdog, the sensible betting choice is Lucie Safarova’s 1.75 Money Line odds.
Elina Svitolina vs Garbiñe Muguruza
Elina Svitolina and Garbiñe Muguruza are closely ranked, and this match will directly affect who will edge closer to the top spot.
Svitolina is the better player on hard court, but Muguruza is still riding the wave brought about by her Wimbledon victory. Matches between these two have always ended in fairly close contests, so this one shouldn’t prove any different.
I think the taller Muguruza shouldn’t have any problem outplaying the Ukranian Svitolina, so a -1.50 handicap for 2.78 is not a bad deal.
Simona Halep vs Caroline Garcia
Caroline Garcia is having a great tournament so far, winning her last two matches in straight sets. However, she is quite unfortunate to face a red-hot Simona Halep on the way to the semis.
With less than a thousand points separating her from Pliskova, expect the Romanian to pull off an inspiring performance to reach the semi-final. Given her current run of form, it would be insane not to go for Halep’s -1.50 @ 1.92 Asian Handicap odds.
