Regardless of this Friday’s outcome, Francoise Abanda already secured her career-high ranking next week with an unprecedented appearance in the top 115. Known as one of the most promising young players on the WTA Tour, Abanda is trying to become the first Canadian player to win the title in Quebec. Taking a look now at Francoise’s campaign on this event, the 20-year-old reaches this stage of the competition after a sensational comeback against Varvara Lepchenko.
Playing on Indoor Hard Court brings the best out of Timea Babos. Besides winning Hungarian Ladies Open earlier this season, the Hungarian holds an outstanding 71.01% overall record on these game conditions. Despite her impressive numbers on this surface, the last months haven’t been easy for Babos with the world no.63 winning only 34.62% of the matches since her victory in Budapest.
Looking now at the betting odds for this encounter, the bookmakers consider Timea the main favourite to reach the semi-finals at 57/100 at William Hill while Francoise is available at 79/50 at Pinnacle. Even though we agree with the Hungarian’s favouritism, it’s impossible to find any value on her current price. For that reason, our suggestion is for you to place a bet on Abanda’s +1.5 Set Handicap at 67/100 at Pinnacle as the best betting approach for this match.
