The Volvo Car Open quarter-finals take place this Friday in Charleston. Bookmakers Review breaks down the fixture below and lists the best available odds from green listed bookmakers.
Ostapenko vs. Wozniacki
After Venus Williams and Madison Keys’ defeats, Caroline Wozniacki is now the undeniable favourite to win the Volvo Car Open. Playing in Charleston brings great memories to Wozniacki with the 2011 champion winning 84.21% of the matches played throughout her career on this event. Taking a look now at Caroline’s campaign on this year’s edition, the former world no.1 reaches this stage of the competition after two straight set victories over Annika Beck and Anastasia Rodionova.
Jelena Ostapenko couldn’t ask for a better debut in Charleston with the 19-year old Latvian already in the quarter-finals. Despite her successful run, Ostapenko didn’t face a single top 80 player so far with her opponents’ average ranking on this tournament as 157.67. Adding to this, Jelena also benefited from Fanny Stollar’s retirement in the previous round when Ostapenko was already leading by 6 – 1 1 – 0.
This will be the 2nd career meeting between these two players with Ostapenko winning their previous encounter last year in New Haven by 7 – 5 6 – 2.
Despite Jelena’s lead on the h2h, Caroline is a different player since the US Open 2016. As we mentioned before, Wozniacki is now the main favourite to lift the trophy and we can’t see her wasting this opportunity after losing three finals already this season. With this in mind, Caroline is a great play for a parlay at 8/25 at 5Dimes while William Hill offers 13/5 for Ostapenko’s victory. For those who want to place a single bet, Wozniacki’s -4.0 game handicap at 7/10 at Pinnacle is definitely the best betting approach for this contest.
