The Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships quarter-finals take place this Thursday with two former world no.1 in action. Bookmakers Review breaks down the fixture below and lists the best available odds from green listed bookmakers.
Wozniacki vs. Bellis
At the age of 17, Catherine Bellis is without a doubt one of the most promising young players on the WTA Tour. The American featured her first career win over a top 10 this Wednesday in Dubai with a 6 – 4 2 – 6 6 – 2 victory against Agnieszka Radwanska. Even though Bellis is far from a big server with only 5’7’’ (1.68m), the former junior world no.1 ended the match against Radwanska with impressive numbers on serve – winning 76.92% of her service games.
The 2011 champion – Caroline Wozniacki – is for the 6th time in the WTA Dubai quarter-finals. Wozniacki is clearly returning to her best level and it shouldn’t take long before we see Caroline once again in the top 10. Looking now to Caroline’s campaign on this event, the Danish reaches this stage of the competition after recovering from a set down against Kateryna Bondarenko.
Even though it won’t be easy for Bellis to perform at the same level, the young American loves to compete in the big stages and can never be underestimated due to her tremendous talent. Adding to this, Wozniacki struggled with some physical problems in the previous round with a medical timeout requested to her left leg. With this in mind, the value is clearly on Catherine’s odds with Pinnacle offering 61/20 for her victory while Wozniacki is available at 33/100 at BetVictor. For those who want to go with a safer line, Bellis’ +5.0 is an extremely valuable line at 17/20 at Pinnacle.
