Kasatkina vs. Goerges
Daria Kasatkina continues her successful run in Moscow. The 20-year-old is seeking her second career title after her surprising victory at the Volvo Car Open in Charleston. Known as one of the most talented players in the game, the former junior world no.1 didn’t experience any major problems against Irina-Camelia Begu on the previous round. Adding to this, Kasatkina won 77.78% of Begu’s service games in the semi-finals.
Regardless of this Saturday’s outcome, Julia Goerges already secured her return to the top-25 for the first time since May 2013. Playing in Moscow brings the best out of Goerges with an impressive 87.50% winning record throughout her career on this event. Taking a look now at Julia’s campaign on this tournament, the 28-year-old reaches this stage of the competition after a three-set win over Natalia Vikhlyantseva.
This will be the 5th career meeting between these two players with each of them winning two of their previous four encounters.
As the h2h suggests, there isn’t much separating these two players. The bookmakers think the same with Kasatkina as the slight favourite at 67/100 at Pinnacle while Bet365 offers 137/100 for Julia to lift the trophy. Even though we agree with Daria’s favouritism, it’s impossible to find any value on her current tennis betting odds. With this in mind, our suggestion is for you to place a bet on the Over 21.5 at 49/50 at Pinnacle as the best betting approach for this final.
