We’ve reached the decisive day with the WTA Elite Trophy Final taking place this Sunday. Bookmakers Review breaks down the fixture below and lists the best available odds from green listed bookmakers.
Svitolina vs. Kvitova
Playing in China is always special for Petra Kvitova. After claiming the WTA Wuhan title a few weeks ago the Czech is just one win away from Zhuhai’s glory. Kvitova remains unbroken in Zhuhai with an impressive 6 – 2 6 – 2 victory over Shuai Zhang in the semi-finals. Known for her powerful serve, Petra won 83.30% of the points played with her first serve throughout the week, saving all the seven break points she faced.
Elina Svitolina featured a remarkable comeback in the semi-finals against Johanna Konta. After dropping the opening set, Svitolina bounced back with a high-quality performance, emerging victorious at the end by 2 – 6 6 – 1 6 – 4. Elina is for the 6th time in the final of a WTA event with an outstanding 4 – 1 record so far. However, the Ukrainian lost the last one she played a few months ago in New Haven against Agnieszka Radwanska.
After Svitolina’s victory two years ago in Cincinnati, Kvitova won the last five encounters between these two. This is already the fourth meeting these two in 2016 with Elina still looking to steal a set from the Czech this season. With Petra playing at such a higher level this week, it’s impossible to go against her. Therefore, Kvitova is the right play on this match at 2/5 at William Hill while Pinnacle offers 261/100 for Svitolina’s victory. Due to the low value on Petra’s money line, we’ll take once more the -1.5 Set Handicap on Kvitova at 93/100 at Pinnacle.
