Regardless of this Friday’s outcome, Caroline Garcia already secured her career-high ranking next week. Known as one of the most talented players in the game, the 23-year-old is just one win away from her first ever WTA Premier final. Adding to this, the fast court conditions in Wuhan are perfect for Garcia’s powerful game style with an impressive average of 0.59 aces per service game on this event.
Maria Sakkari continues her sensational campaign at the Dongfeng Motor Wuhan Open. Against our expectations, the Greek no.1 proved too strong for Alize Cornet in the quarter-finals. At the age of 22, Sakkari became the first qualifier to make it to the semi-finals at Wuhan. Despite her lack of experience at this level, Maria won 71.43% of the break point opportunities on Cornet’s serve in the previous round.
The bookmakers expect a straightforward win from Garcia with the French available at 17/50 at Pinnacle while Ladbrokes offers 11/4 for Sakkari’s victory. Even though we agree with Caroline’s favouritism, it’s impossible to find any value on her current tennis betting odds. For that reason, our suggestion is for you to place a bet on the Over 20.5 at 19/20 at Pinnacle as the best betting approach for this encounter.
