Known as one of the most talented players in tennis history, Agnieszka Radwanska is trying to return to her best level after a slow start to 2017. Despite her lack of success in recent months, Radwanska is always a fearful opponent on the big stages with an outstanding 124 – 45 career record on Grand Slam events. Adding to this, Agnieszka started her campaign in Flushing Meadows with an incredible 2.09 winners / unforced errors ratio in the opening round against Petra Martic.
At the age of 22, Yulia Putintseva is just one win away from an unprecedented apperance in the US Open 3rd round. After a precocious junior career, Putintseva is trying to live up to expectations. Despite her unquestionable quality, the player from Kazakhstan is also known for her temper and outbursts on court. The last one happened in New Haven where she couldn’t control her emotions after a double bagel defeat against Alize Cornet.
Famous for her incredible consistency, it won’t be easy for Putintseva to overcome such a tough opponent as Radwanska. Moreover, the Polish won all their previous two encounters on the WTA Tour. With this in mind, Agnieszka is the undeniable favourite to win this match at 19/100 at Pinnacle while 5Dimes offers 22/5 for Yulia’s victory. Due to the low price on the Polish’s moneyline, the best approach is to place a bet on her -1.5 Set Handicap at 31/50 at Pinnacle.
Best Play: Agnieszka Radwanska -1.5 Set Handicap at 31/50 at Pinnacle
Playing on the big stages brings the best out of Coco Vandeweghe with an outstanding 10 – 3 record on Grand Slam events in 2017. Known as one of the best servers on the WTA Tour, the fast court conditions in Flushing Meadows are perfect for Vandeweghe’s game style. However, the 25-year-old American was far from impressive on serve in the opening round with only 39.72% first serve in.
After becoming the first Arab woman to reach the 3rd round of a Grand Slam event in Roland Garros, Ons Jabeur is trying to do the same in New York. Taking a look now at Jabeur’s campaign on this event, 23-year-old didn’t experience any major issues on her debut against Brianna Minor. Famous for her aggressive return to serve, the world no.99 won 56.67% of the points on Minor’s serve.
Even though we agree with Coco’s favouritism for this match, it’s impossible to find any value on her current betting odds at 1/5 at Pinnacle. On the other hand, William Hill offers a very interesting price of 7/2 for Jabeur’s victory. Besides the value on the underdog’s price, placing a bet on the Over 19 at 9/10 at BetOnline is also an interesting approach for this encounter.
