Kasatkina vs. Begu
Daria Kasatkina is trying to become the sixth Russian player to win the VTB Kremlin Cup. After Maria Sharapova’s surprising defeat on the opening match, Kasatkina is now the undeniable favourite to lift the trophy in Moscow. Known as one of the most promising young players in the game, the former junior world no.1 is finally living up to expectations. In addition to her terrific 60.78% record in 2017, the 20-year-old won her first ever WTA title at the Volvo Car Open in Charleston.
Playing in Moscow brings great memories to Irina-Camelia Begu. After her defeat against Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova at the 2014 VTB Kremlin Cup Final, the former world no.22 is trying to go a step further on this year’s edition. Taking a look now at Begu’s campaign on this event, the 27-year-old from Romania reaches this stage of the competition after a three-set victory over Vera Lapko.
This will be the 6th career meeting between these two players with Kasatkina leading on the h2h by 4 – 1.
Despite Daria’s lead on the h2h, it’s impossible to find any value on her moneyline at 1/4 at Bet365. On the other hand, 5Dimes offers a very interesting price for Begu to reach the final at 63/20. Due to the tremendous value on the Romanian’s tennis betting odds, our suggestion is for you to place a bet on her +5.5 game handicap at 3/4 at Pinnacle as the best betting approach for this contest.
