The action continues in Birmingham with the Aegon Classic quarter-finals taking place this Friday. Bookmakers Review breaks down the fixture below and lists the best available odds from green listed bookmakers.
Mladenovic vs. Kvitova
The two-time Wimbledon champion – Petra Kvitova – continues her successful comeback. After missing the first five months of the season due to a brutal knife attack at her home in December that badly injured her left hand, Kvitova is slowly returning to her best level. Known as one of the best grass-court players on the WTA Tour, the 27-year-old Czech booked a place into the Aegon Classic quarter-finals after an easy 6 – 2 6 – 2 win over Naomi Broady.
At the age of 24, Kristina Mladenovic is going through the best moment in her career. Besides her success in singles, Mladenovic is also the world no.9 on the WTA doubles ranking. The fast court conditions on grass bring the best out of Kristina with an outstanding 70.37% winning record on this surface since 2015. Looking now at Mladenovic’s campaign in Birmingham, the former junior world no.1 reaches this stage of the competition without dropping a single set.
These two players will face each other for the 5th time in their careers with Kvitova leading on the h2h by 3 – 1.
Despite Petra’s unquestionable quality on this surface and edge over this opponent, Mladenovic is playing at a phenomenal level in recent months. Adding to this, Kvitova is only playing her second official tournament after a long absence. For that reason, it’s hard to find any value on Petra’s tennis betting odds at 16/25 at Pinnacle. On the other hand, Coral offers a very interesting price for Mladenovic to secure a place in the following round at 3/2.
