Miami Open Women’s Singles QF
The Miami Open is in full swing with the best eight in the women’s category all ready to surprise betting websites and the tennis online gambling community.
All eyes, however, will be on the three US players who made it to the quarter-finals. It has been three years since an American (Serena Williams) last won the tournament, so the home fans are certainly itching to see another countryman lift the silverware at Key Biscayne.
Angelique Kerber vs Sloane Stephens
Betting odds are stacked against Stephens, but make no mistake; she’s entering her peak form and is brimming with confidence, thanks to her win over Garbine Muguruza—perhaps her biggest victory since her US Open triumph in 2017.
Sure enough, Kerber poses a tough challenge. The German has been consistent this year, reaching at least the quarter-final of every event she has competed. Not to mention that she’s raring to make a statement after her Indian Wells upset against Daria Kasatkina.
Nonetheless, the current World No.10 will be cautious of the fact that she hasn’t beaten Stephen for three straight games as the American dominated their head-to-head, 3-1.
Considering all these, going for Stephens at Money Line Odds @ 2.19 seems the best choice.
Karolina Pliskova vs Victoria Azarenka
It’s a battle between two former top-ranked players, and it’s brewing to be an exciting affair given the contrast in playing style.
Pliskova’s power is something that Azarenka will fear, and it sure helps the fifth-seeded star that she has the rest advantage after the retirement of Zarina Diyas in their Round of 16 clash. However, Azarenka is playing better than ever and has been locked in defensively, with a brilliant return game to boast.
I predict this match to go the distance, but Azarenka should have the edge given her consistency as compared to Pliskova who has had some hiccups as of late. With that said, go for Azarenka game Handicap -1.50 @ 1.90.
Elina Svitolina vs Jelena Ostapenko
World No.4 meets World No.5 in a battle that will leave only one top-five player at the end of the day.
Svitolina boasts a complete baseline game that can rattle any opponent, even the powerful Latvian. Nevertheless, the 20-year-old Ostapenko appears to have the advantage considering that she is yet to drop a set in the competition.
It should also give Ostapenko more confidence that she already beat the Ukrainian once, ousting her last year in Wimbledon in straight sets! Choose Ostapenko Asian Handicap +1.50 @ 2.04.
Venus Williams vs Danielle Rose Collins
Venus continues to delight the American crowd. After her Indian Wells exploits, she made sure that tennis fans won’t miss her sister as she beat the likes of Kiki Bertens and Johanna Konta en route to this stage.
Collins is the feel-good story of the contest, even overcoming Coco Vandeweghe and Monica Puig after surviving the qualifiers. Unfortunately, that will likely end soon given Venus’ experience in this stage.
Venus is a three-time champion at Key Biscayne; and despite being 37-years-old, she has proven she can win even after a marathon match! Williams on Game Handicap -4.50 @ 1.81 is a no-brainer.
