We’ve reach the decisive day with Johanna Konta and Agnieszka Radwanska fighting for the Apia International Sydney title. Bookmakers Review breaks down the fixture below and lists the best available odds from green listed bookmakers.
Konta vs. Radwanska
Johanna Konta continues her dream run in Sydney. As we mentioned in our semi-finals analysis, Konta was born and raised in this city, which makes this a very special event for her. The world no.10 featured a tremendous performance in the previous round, dismissing Eugenie Bouchard in two easy sets. Johanna’s aggressive return to serve was once again the key to her success with the British winning 61.11% of the points played on Bouchard’s serve.
The 2013 Apia International champion – Agnieszka Radwanska – returns to the decisive match in Sydney. The Polish played at an outstanding level in the semi-finals, allowing only three games to Barbora Strycova. Radwanska said that the conditions in Sydney clearly suit her game and that she played her best tennis against Strycova. Looking now to Agnieszka’s numbers throughout the week, the highlight clearly goes to her serve with the world no.3 winning 80.77% of her service games.
This will be the 3rd career meeting between these two players with Radwanska leading on the h2h by 2 – 0.
As we mentioned before, Konta has been absolutely impressive on return throughout the week. However, it won’t be easy for the British to maintain such high numbers against a tricky player as Radwanska. Agnieszka’s slice serve is a great weapon against Konta, as well as her ability to change the pace during the rallies. Radwanska won’t give any pace to her opponent and that should be the key to her success. Therefore, Agnieszka deserves to be the favourite for this final at 57/100 at Pinnacle while Konta is available at 7/4 at William Hill.
