Don’t miss our top tennis play for this Friday’s action in Bastad with Katerina Siniakova and Anastasija Sevastova fighting for a place at the Ericsson Open semi-finals. Bookmakers Review breaks down the fixture below and lists the best available odds from green listed bookmakers.
Siniakova vs. Sevastova
Regardless of this Friday’s outcome, Anastasija Sevastova already ensured her career-high ranking next week. Known as one of the most talented players on the WTA Tour, the 27-year-old Latvian is finally living up to expectations. Taking a look now at Anastasija’s campaign on this event, the world no.17 reaches this stage of the competition after an easy 6 – 2 6 – 3 win over Elizaveta Kulichkova.
Playing in Bastad brings the best out of Katerina Siniakova. After a disappointing defeat against Laura Siegemund at the 2016 Ericsson Open final, the 21-year-old Czech is trying to go a step further on this year’s edition. Despite her lack of success in recent weeks, Siniakova is already in the quarter-finals after two good performances. Adding to this, the former world no.36 holds a phenomenal 81.82% career record on this event.
This will be the 2nd career meeting between these two players with Katerina leading on the h2h by 1 – 0.
Despite Sevastova’s undeniable quality, Siniakova is never an easy opponent. Adding to this, the slower court conditions in Bastad definitely suit the Czech’s incredible defence. With this in mind, the value is clearly on Katerina’s tennis betting odds at 197/100 at Pinnacle while Sevastova is available at 2/5 at Bet365. For those who want to take a lower risk, Siniakova’s +1.5 Set Handicap at 73/100 at Pinnacle is also an interesting approach for this contest.
