The Red Group returns to action this Tuesday with the round 2 of the Round Robin stage taking place. Bookmakers Review breaks down the fixtures below and lists the best available odds from green listed bookmakers.
Keys vs. Cibulkova
A very interesting match is expected between two players who are making their debut on the WTA Finals. Both started their campaign with a loss, which makes this a decisive match for them.
After a disappointing display against Simona Halep, with an average of 2.22 unforced errors per game, Madison Keys is looking for a better performance on this match. Playing on such a big competition proved to be too much for Madison with the American saying that she definitely felt the nerves of playing her first match in Singapore.
Despite her defeat in the previous match against Angelique Kerber, Dominika Cibulkova played at a superb level, losing only in three close sets against the world no.1. Known for her competitive mindset, Cibulkova said that she felt great on court and extremely confident about the following matches after such a great performance.
These two players know each other well and even though Madison’s 3 – 0 lead on the h2h, Cibulkova is clearly at a higher level. As we mentioned both players are making their debut on this event yet, Dominika is clearly handling the situation better. With this in mind, Cibulkova is the right play at 91/100 at William Hill while Pinnacle offers 107/100 for a Keys’ triumph.
Kerber vs. Halep
The two top contenders for the title in Singapore will fight this Tuesday for the Red Group leadership – Angelique Kerber and Simona Halep.
After winning two Grand Slam titles in 2016, Kerber’s focus is now to end the year with the WTA Finals trophy. This is the first time that Angelique starts her campaign in the WTA Finals with a victory after losing on her debut in 2012, 2013 and 2015. Kerber reaches this contest full of confidence after winning such a tough battle in the first match against Dominika Cibulkova.
Halep couldn’t ask for a better start in Singapore since she was the only player who began her journey with a straight sets victory. The conditions in Singapore clearly suit Simona’s game style with the Romanian highlighting her focus and consistency as the key to her victory over Madison Keys.
These two players know each other well with some remarkable battles in the past. This match shouldn’t be any different yet, the conditions in Singapore clearly benefit Halep. Therefore, the value is definitely on Simona’s odds at 103/100 at 5Dimes while Kerber can be found at 19/20 at Marathonbet.
