The action continues in Dubai with the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships semi-finals taking place this Saturday. Bookmakers Review breaks down the fixture below and lists the best available odds from green listed bookmakers.
Wozniacki vs. Sevastova
Playing in Dubai is always special for Caroline Wozniacki with the former world no.1 holding an outstanding 21 – 5 career record on this event. Despite requesting a medical timeout against Kateryna Bondarenko in the previous round, Wozniacki didn’t experience any problems in her quarter-finals contest against Catherine Bellis. The American couldn’t find an answer to Caroline’s solid baseline game with the Danish emerging victorious at the end by 6 – 3 6 – 2.
Regardless of this Friday’s result one thing is certain, Anastasija Sevastova already secured a place in the top 25 next week for the first time in her career. Known for her undeniable talent, Sevastova is finally living up to the expectations after struggling with several physical problems throughout her career. Looking now to Anastasija’s campaign on this event, the Latvian reaches this stage of the competition after a 6 – 4 7 – 5 victory over Qiang Wang.
This will be the 3rd career meeting between these two players with Wozniacki winning their two previous encounters, both in straight sets.
As the h2h suggests, this is a terrible match-up for Sevastova with Wozniacki crushing her opponent last year at the US Open by 6 – 0 6 – 2. The bookmakers also expect an easy win from the Danish with Ladbrokes offering 3/10 for Caroline’s victory while Sevastova is available at 33/10 at Pinnacle. Even though Wozniacki’s price is not high enough for a single bet, it’s still a good option for a parlay. Adding to this, Caroline should also cover her -4.5 game handicap at 4/5 at Bet365.
