The action continues in Singapore with the players from the White Group starting their campaign on the WTA Finals. Bookmakers Review breaks down the fixtures below and lists the best available odds from green listed bookmakers.
Radwanska vs. Kuznetsova
After winning the title last year, Agnieszka Radwanska is once again one of the main favourites to lift the trophy in Singapore. Despite her recent retirement in Tianjin due to a right thigh injury, Radwanska said that she’s feeling very good and confident after a successful Asian swing.
Svetlana Kuznetsova returns to the WTA Finals after an outstanding campaign in Moscow. Besides winning her second consecutive title on the capital of Russia, Kuznetsova also secured a place on this event for the first time since 2009. Before this event, Svetlana said that she was extremely pleased about her fighting spirit throughout the last week.
Even though Radwanska is usually an extremely tough match-up due to her tricky game style, that’s not Svetlana’s case with the Russian winning 75.00% of their previous meetings. With this in mind, Kuznetsova presents a tremendous value with Pinnacle offering 13/5 for the Russian to win this match while Radwanska is available at 33/100 at Coral. For those who want to take a lower risk, Kuznetsova’s +1.5 Set Handicap at 21/20 at Pinnacle is also a great approach for this contest.
Pliskova vs. Muguruza
The last months haven’t been easy for Garbine Muguruza with the 2016 French Open champion struggling to find her best tennis since that triumph in Paris. Furthermore, Muguruza’s ankle problems are famous with the Spaniard sustaining another injury two weeks ago in Linz. Garbine said that she hopes to be at 100% for the first match yet, it won’t be easy for the Spaniard to present her best tennis this Monday.
Karolina Pliskova is one of the three players who are making their debut on this WTA Finals. Playing this event is a deserved reward after such a great year with the Czech winning two titles and reaching her first Grand Slam final at the US Open. Besides her qualification for the singles competition, Pliskova will also play the doubles tournament together with Julia Goerges.
These two players are no strangers with Pliskova winning their last encounter a few months ago in the Western & Southern Open. Due to Karolina’s higher level in recent months and Muguruza’s physical issues, the Czech is clearly the right play at 3/4 at BetVictor while Garbine can be found at 131/100 at Marathonbet.
