Begu vs. Suarez Navarro
Carla Suarez Navarro continues to pursue her first title in 2017. After Anastasia Sevastova’s surprising defeat in the previous round, the Spaniard is now the undeniable favourite to win the title in Bucharest. Taking a look now at Suarez Navarro’s campaign on this event, the world no.34 reaches this stage of the competition after an impressive 6 – 0 6 – 3 victory over Tatjana Maria.
Playing on red dirt brings the best out of Irina-Camelia Begu with an impressive 67.49% winning record on clay. On the other hand, the 26-year-old Romanian only won 50.83% of the matches played on other surfaces throughout her career. Despite her unquestionable quality, Begu only won 18.75% of her last 16 matches against top 50 opponents.
This will be the 4th career meeting between these two players with Suarez Navarro leading on the h2h by 2 – 1.
In addition to Carla’s lead on the h2h, the 28-year-old Spaniard didn’t drop a single set on their last two encounters. Looking now at the odds for this contest, Suarez Navarro is the main favourite to make it to the final at 2/5 at Bet365 while Pinnacle offers 221/100 for Begu’s victory. Due to the low price on Carla’s moneyline, our suggestion is for you to place a bet on the Spaniard’s -4 game handicap at 9/10 at Pinnacle as the best betting approach for this contest.
