We’ve reached the decisive day with Kristina Mladenovic and Yulia Putintseva fighting for the WTA St. Petersburg Ladies Trophy title. Bookmakers Review breaks down the fixture below and lists the best available odds from green listed bookmakers.
Yulia Putintseva’s dream run continues with the Kazakh securing a place in the final of a WTA event for the first time in her career. After defeating Svetlana Kuznetsova in the quarter-finals, Putintseva surprised another top 10 player – Dominika Cibulkova. Known for her fighting spirit and self-belief, Yulia featured a remarkable comeback from 2 – 4 to 6 – 4 in the decisive set.
After losing all her previous three finals on the WTA Tour, Kristina Mladenovic is trying to break the trend this week in St. Petersburg. Famous for her powerful shots, the fast conditions on Indoor Hard Court clearly suit Mladenovic’s game style. Looking now to Kristina’s campaign on this event, the French reaches this stage of the competition after recovering from a set down against Natalia Vikhlyantseva.
One thing is certain, regardless of the outcome, one of these two players will leave St. Petersburg with the first WTA title. These two players know each other well with a 2 – 2 tie on the h2h. The bookmakers expect a close affair with Mladenovic as the slight favourite at 4/5 at Coral while Putintseva is available at 11/10 at Ladbrokes. In a match where both players should struggle to perform at their best with so much at stake, the Over 21.5 at 4/5 at Bet365 is by far the best betting approach for this final.
