The WTA Miami Open Quarter-Finals comes to an end this Wednesday with Angelique Kerber and Venus Williams fighting for a place in the following round. Bookmakers Review breaks down the fixture below and lists the best available odds from green listed bookmakers.
Kerber vs. Venus
Playing in Miami brings great memories to Venus with the American winning 82.19% of the matches played in Key Biscayne throughout her career. Despite her age, Williams is still a phenomenal athlete. Taking a look now at Venus’ campaign on this event, the seven-time Grand Slam champion reaches this stage of the competition after a great win over Svetlana Kuznetsova.
The world no.1 – Angelique Kerber – keeps far from impressive in 2017. Despite reaching this stage of the competition without dropping a single set, it’s important to mention that Kerber had a very easy draw with three opponents outside the top 50. Angelique is for the 3rd time in the Miami Open quarter-finals after defeating the Japanese qualifier – Risa Ozaki – in two easy sets.
Due to Venus’ outstanding results this season and Angelique’s poor performances in 2017, it’s impossible to go against the American in this contest. Adding to this, Venus won their last encounter on Hard Court at the Rogers Cup in 2014. Therefore, Williams is clearly the right play with Pinnacle offering 123/100 for Venus to reach the semi-finals while Kerber is available at 73/100 with Coral.
