The action continues in Biel with the Ladies Open Biel Bienne semi-finals taking place this Saturday. Bookmakers Review breaks down the fixture below and lists the best available odds from green listed bookmakers.
Strycova vs. Vondrousova
Marketa Vondrousova’s dream run continue in Biel. Regardless of this Saturday’s result, Vondrousova already secured a place in the top 200 for the first time in her career. Despite her young age, the 17-year-old Czech reaches this stage of the competition after two straight sets victories over Annika Beck and Kristyna Pliskova. Looking at Marketa’s stats on those two matches, the highlight clearly goes to her numbers on pressure points with the Czech winning 57.89% of the break points played on her opponents’ serve.
The no.1 seed – Barbora Strycova – continues to pursue her first title since 2011 in Quebec. Known as one of the trickiest players on the WTA tour, Strycova is never an easy opponent to face. Adding to this, the low bouncing conditions on Indoor Hard Court clearly suit Barbora’s game style. Taking a look now at Strycova’s campaign in Biel, the world no.18 reaches this stage of the competition after defeating Julia Goerges in the quarter-finals.
Despite Vondrousova’s brilliant run, it won’t be easy for the teenager to perform at her best in the biggest match of her career. Besides, Strycova knows very well how to explore Marketa’s lack of experience with her tricky slices and ability to change the pace of the rallies. With this in mind, there is clear value on Barbora’s current price to secure a place in the final at 67/100 at Ladbrokes while Vondrousova is available at 13/10 at Bet365.
