Don’t miss our top tennis play for this Saturday’s action in Birmingham with Lucie Safarova and Petra Kvitova fighting for a place in the final. Bookmakers Review breaks down the fixture below and lists the best available odds from green listed bookmakers.
Safarova vs. Kvitova
Regardless of this Saturday’s outcome, Lucie Safarova already secured her return to the top 35. After a disappointing defeat against Donna Vekic at the WTA Nottingham semi-finals last week, Safarova is looking to go a step further this week in Birmingham. However, it won’t be easy for the 30-year-old Czech to present her best tennis this Saturday after spending more than three hours on court against Daria Gavrilova in the quarter-finals.
The two-time Wimbledon champion – Petra Kvitova – continues her sensational run in Birmingham. Against our expectations, Kristina Mladenovic couldn’t find the answer to Petra’s powerful game style. Known as one of the best servers on the WTA Tour, Kvitova won 92.90% of her service games throughout this tournament. Adding to this, the world no.16 didn’t drop a single set on her path into the semi-finals.
These two players know each other very well. Not only are they good friends off the court and Fed Cup teammates, but this is also the 10th official meeting between them with Kvitova leading on the h2h by 9 – 0.
As the h2h suggests, Petra clearly holds the edge over this opponent. For that reason, it’s impossible to find any value on Lucie’s tennis betting odds at 2/1 at Ladbrokes while Kvitova is available at 9/20 at BetVictor. Besides the value on Petra’s moneyline, placing a bet on her -3.5 game handicap at 83/100 at Bet365.
