Gavrilova vs. Cibulkova
After a slow start to 2017, Dominika Cibulkova is playing some of her best tennis ever. Known as one of the most aggressive players in the game, the fast court conditions in New Haven are perfect for Cibulkova’s game style. Looking now at Dominika’s number on his event, the highlight definitely goes to her return to serve with Cibulkova winning 50.00% of her opponents’ service games in New Haven. Adding to this, the world no.11 reaches this stage of the competition after an impressive 6 – 1 6 – 3 win over Elise Mertens.
Against our expectations, Daria Gavrilova proved too strong for Agnieszka Radwanska in the semi-finals. At the age of 23, Gavrilova is going through the best moment in her career and is now just one win away from an unprecedented appearance in the top 20. Nevertheless, the Australian is still looking for her first ever title on the WTA Tour after losing her previous two finals at the Kremlin Cup in 2016 and in Strasbourg earlier this season.
This will be the 2nd career meeting between these two players with Cibulkova winning their previous encounter at the 2015 Wimbledon edition in straight sets.
In addition to Dominika’s lead on the h2h, the Slovak is also the most experienced of the two at this level. On the other hand, it won’t be easy for Gavrilova to handle Cibulkova’s firepower. With this in mind, the value is definitely on the Slovak’s tennis betting odds at 69/100 at Pinnacle while 5Dimes offers 7/5 for Daria’s victory.
