Konta vs. Barty
The 21-year-old Australian – Ashleigh Barty – continues her incredible run in 2017. Regardless of this Friday’s outcome, Barty already secure her return to the top 80 next week. Playing on grass brings the best out of Ashleigh with an outstanding 75.68% winning record on this surface. After losing the opening set on her debut in Nottingham, Barty reaches this stage of the competition after an easy 6 – 2 6 – 1 win over Jana Fett.
With a brilliant 27 – 9 record in 2017, Johanna Konta is going through the best moment in her career. Despite her disappointing campaign on the European clay-court season, Konta started her journey in Nottingham with two impressive victories against Tara Moore and Yanina Wickmayer. Famous for her aggressive return to serve, Johanna won 66.70% of her opponents’ service games on this event.
Despite Ashleigh’s undeniable quality on this surface, Konta should be too strong at the end for the Australian. With this in mind, Johanna is the main favourite to win this match at 61/100 at Pinnacle while Bet365 offers 3/2 for Barty’s victory. Besides the value on Konta’s moneyline, placing a bet on her -3 game handicap at 51/50 at Pinnacle may also be an interesting betting approach for this contest.
