The Round Robin stage comes to an end this Friday with the players from the White Group fighting for a place in the semi-finals. Bookmakers Review breaks down the fixtures below and lists the best available odds from green listed bookmakers.
Muguruza vs. Kuznetsova
This is without any doubts the less attractive match of this competition. Not due to the quality of the players but because Svetlana Kuznetsova already secured a place in the semi-finals while Garbine Muguruza has zero chances of reaching the following stage. Despite that, it’s still possible to find some great value on the current prices.
At the age of 31, Kuznetsova is back on the top of her game with the two-time Grand Slam champion reaching the WTA Finals semi-finals for the first time in her career. Svetlana assured her qualification for the next stage after a dramatic triumph over Karolina Pliskova in the third set tie break.
Muguruza’s poor results in recent months are clearly affecting the Spaniard’s confidence. After her defeat against Agnieszka Radwanska, Garbine said that losing her serve when serving for the first set with 5 – 4 was extremely tough and this is a perfect example of Muguruza’s lack of mental strength nowadays.
As we mentioned before, it’s still possible to find some good value on this match even though this match doesn’t mean much. Kuznetsova is currently at a superb level, which makes her a valuable bet for this contest at 21/20 at Marathonbet while William Hill offers you 91/100 for Muguruza’s victory.
Radwanska vs. Pliskova
A high-quality contest is expected this Friday between Agnieszka Radwanska and Karolina Pliskova with a place in the semi-finals at stake.
The court conditions in Singapore clearly suit Radwanska’s game style with the defending champion featuring an extraordinary performance against Garbine Muguruza. The Polish was extremely pleased with her triumph, especially since she lost the opening match against Svetlana Kuznetsova.
After playing two singles and a doubles match, Pliskova already spent more than six hours on court in Singapore. However, Karolina said that playing doubles could only help her game, especially after struggling to find her first serve in the previous match against Kuznetsova.
After winning all their previous six encounters in straight sets, Agnieszka is the undeniable favourite for this match at 41/100 at Pinnacle while Pliskova is offered at 9/4 at Coral. Due to the low price on Radwanska’s moneyline, we recommend you to take her -3.5 game handicap at 3/4 at Pinnacle to grab some extra value.
