The action continues in Charleston with the Volvo Car Open semi-finals taking place this Saturday. Bookmakers Review breaks down the fixture below and lists the best available odds from green listed bookmakers.
Siegemund vs. Kasatkina
Playing on clay brings the best out of Laura Siegemund with a phenomenal 80.00% winning record over her last 50 matches on this surface. Adding to this, the court conditions in Charleston are perfect for Siegemund’s game style with the German presenting an outstanding 81.30% ROI throughout her career on this event. Whenever Laura steps on court one thing is certain, she’ll fight until the last point. Siegemund’s victory over Venus Williams in the 2nd round after saving two match points is a great example of that.
Known as one of the most promising young players on the WTA Tour, Daria Kasatkina is just one win away from reaching her first career final. Despite her tremendous talent, Kasatkina is also famous for her inconsistency. Considering Daria’s 8 defeats this season, 62.50% of those occurred when priced as favourite. Looking now at Kasatkina’s numbers throughout the week, the highlight clearly goes to her return to serve with the Russian winning 66.70% of her opponents’ service games.
These two players know each other well with Kasatkina winning all their previous three encounters.
Despite Daria’s lead on the h2h, Siegemund is playing at a superb level and it won’t be easy for anyone to beat her. Therefore, the value is definitely on the German player with 5Dimes offering 79/50 for her victory while Kasatkina is available at 57/100 at Ladbrokes. Due to Kasatkina’s inconsistency, Laura’s +1.5 Set Handicap at 69/100 at Pinnacle is clearly the best betting approach for this contest.
