Bookmakers Review breaks down the fixtures below and lists the best available odds from green listed bookmakers.
Vinci vs. Bondarenko
Kateryna Bondarenko is a rare case on the WTA Tour, back in 2012 she retired from tennis but after having a baby, the Ukrainian decided to give another after more than one year without touching a racket. Bondarenko is living a second career on tour and a successful one since she’s currently ranked as world no.62.
Roberta Vinci is looking for another successful journey on a Grand Slam event after her epic run last year at the US Open – where Roberta only lost in the final against her fellow countrywoman, Flavia Pennetta. However, the Italian is still trying to find her best tennis on clay after losing 4 of her previous 5 matches.
Two very experienced players will face each other on this match with their first encounter taking place in 2004. The bookmakers are expecting a very close contest and we agree with them, with Vinci priced at 67/100 on William Hill while Bondarenko can be found at 127/100 on Marathonbet. The Over/Under line is at 21.5 games and placing a bet on the Over at 99/100 on Pinnacle Sports might be a good way to approach this match.
Cornet vs. Flipkens
The last match of the day scheduled for the Philippe-Chatrier Court this Monday clearly deserves a closer look, with the home favourite Alize Cornet facing Kirsten Flipkens.
Cornet made an epic run last year, reaching the 4th round with two of her three victories occurring after losing the first set. Alize loves to play with the home support and even though she reaches this event in bad shape, Cornet can never be underestimated due to her tremendous fighting spirit.
When looking at Flipkens’ game style, is clear that the Belgian is far from comfortable on clay, where her offensive game is not so effective. However, Kirsten is always a competitive player with five appearances on this event’s second round.
This match should be an epic battle and if you are looking to watch some drama this is the right match for it. Looking to the odds for the two players, Cornet is the favourite at 3/5 on BetVictor while Flipkens is offered at 131/100 on SBObet. Alize deserves to be the favourite for playing at home and due to her better record on clay but this match should be a very close one.
