Playing on Indoor Hard Court brings the best out of Viktorija Golubic with an impressive 66.22% overall record on this surface. Adding to this, the 2016 Upper Austria Ladies Linz runner-up holds an outstanding 7 – 1 career record on this event. Taking a look now at Golubic’s campaign on this tournament, the 24-year-old reaches this stage of the competition after an easy 6 – 3 6 – 1 win over Johanna Larsson.
At the age of 29, Magdalena Rybarikova is going through the best moment in her career with an incredible 75.41% winning record in 2017. Regardless of this Saturday’s outcome, the Slovak already secured her career-high ranking next week. Despite slow start, Rybarikova proved too strong for Sorana Cirstea in the semi-finals. Famous for her exceptional return to serve, the 2017 Wimbledon semi-finalist won 55.79% of the points on Cirstea’s serve.
This will be the 2nd career meeting between these two players with Rybarikova winning their previous encounter at the Ilkey ITF earlier this season.
Despite Golubic’s brilliant numbers on this tournament, it won’t be easy for the Swiss to overcome such a talented player as Rybarikova. On the other hand, Magdalena holds the edge over this opponent after her recent win on the grass-court season. The bookmakers think the same with Rybarikova as the main favourite at 12/25 at Pinnacle while BetOnline offers 46/25 for Golubic’s victory. Due to the low price on Magdalena’s moneyline, our suggestion is for you to place a bet on her -3.5 game handicap at 41/50 at Pinnacle.
