Pavlyuchenkova vs. Cibulkova
Regardless of this Thursday’s outcome, Dominika Cibulkova already secured her return to the top 10. Known as one of the most aggressive players in the game, the 2016 WTA Singapore Finals champion is labeled as a threat to anyone in a good day. Nevertheless, the 28-year-old is going through a tough moment in her career with a disappointing 54.05% winning record in 2017. Adding to this, Dominika was far from impressive in the previous round against Alize Cornet with a winners / unforced errors ratio of 0.70.
After a brilliant start to 2017, the last weeks haven’t been easy for Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova. Nevertheless, the Russian is slowly returning to her best level with an outstanding 7 – 6 6 – 0 win over Carla Suarez Navarro in the previous match. Despite facing one of the best defenders in the game, Pavlyuchenkova ended the match against the Spaniard with 30 winners and 29 unforced errors.
These two players know each other very well with their first meeting taking place in 2010. Despite Dominka’s 5 – 3 lead on the h2h, Pavlyuchenkova won their last encounter at the BNP Paribas Open in March.
The bookmakers expect a close contest with Pavlyuchenkova available at 19/20 at 5Dimes while Pinnacle offers 97/100 for Cibulkova’s victory. Due to Anastasia’s outstanding performance in the previous round and recent success over this opponent, our suggestion is for you to take advantage of the Russian’s tennis betting odds as the best play for this match.
