Cornet vs. Sakkari
At the age of 22, Maria Sakkari is going through the best moment in her career. Regardless of this Thursday’s outcome, Maria already secured her career-high ranking next week with an unprecedented appearance in the top 60. Adding to this, the Greek qualifier also recorded her first ever WTA Top 10 win after her impressive 7 – 5 6 – 3 victory over Caroline Wozniacki in the second round.
Playing in Wuhan brings the best out of Alize Cornet with an incredible 72.73% career record on this event. Known as one of the greatest defenders in the game, Cornet is enjoying great success on the Asian Swing with a 5 – 1 record. Taking a look now at Alize’s campaign in Wuhan, the 27-year-old reaches this stage of the competition after an outstanding comeback against Varvara Lepchenko.
This will be the 2nd career meeting between these two players with Sakkari emerging victorious from their previous encounter at the Australian Open earlier this season.
Despite Maria’s lead on the h2h, it’s hard to ignore Alize’s higher experience at this level. On the other hand, the French holds a phenomenal 12 – 4 career record when priced as favourite at this stage of the competition on the WTA Tour. With this in mind, our suggestion is for you to take advantage of the value on Cornet’s tennis betting odds at 79/100 at Pinnacle while Sakkari is available at 11/10 at 5Dimes.
