The action continues in Luxembourg with the WTA Luxembourg semi-finals taking place this Friday. Bookmakers Review breaks down the fixture below and lists the best available odds from green listed bookmakers.
Kvitova vs. Davis
Looking now to the matches scheduled for this Friday in Luxembourg, the highlight clearly goes to the match between Petra Kvitova and Lauren Davis.
After Caroline Wozniacki’s withdrawal in the quarter-finals, Kvitova is now the undeniable favourite to leave Luxembourg with the title. Known for her outstanding left-handed serve and powerful game, Petra loves to compete on fast game conditions like the ones in Luxembourg. Looking now to Kvitova’s campaign this week, the two-time Wimbledon champion reaches this stage of the competition after a superb 6 – 2 6 – 0 victory over Johanna Larsson.
Playing on Indoor Hard Court clearly brings the best out of Davis with the American holding an outstanding 77.78% career record on this surface. Due to her low stature – with only 157 cm – Lauren possesses an incredibly foot work, which is one of the main reasons to her success on this game conditions. After playing the qualifying stage, Davis defeated three quality players in the main draw – Misaki Doi, Kristyna Pliskova and Andrea Petkovic.
These two players will face each other for the first time in their careers with a place in the final at stake. After an extraordinary performance in the quarter-finals, the bookmakers consider Kvitova the undeniable favourite for this contest at 11/100 at 5Dimes while Pinnacle offers you 771/100 for Davis to reach the final. Even though we agree with Petra’s favouritism, the value is clearly on Lauren’s odds with the American’s +6.5 game handicap at 17/20 at Pinnacle as the best bet for this match.
