An all-American final takes place this Sunday in Stanford with Madison Keys and Coco Vandeweghe fighting for the Bank of the West Classic title. Bookmakers Review breaks down the fixture below and lists the best available odds from green listed bookmakers.
Keys vs. Vandeweghe
After a disappointing defeat against Serena Williams at the 2012 Bank of the West Classic final, Coco Vandeweghe is trying to go a step further on this year’s edition. Known as one of the best servers on the WTA Tour, the fast court conditions in Stanford are perfect for Coco’s game style. Besides not dropping a single set so far on this event, Vandeweghe won 96.30% of her service games with an impressive average of 0.74 aces per service game.
Madison Keys couldn’t have asked for a better way to begin the US Open series. Despite her lack of success in recent months, the 22-year-old American staged a brilliant performance against Garbine Muguruza in the previous round. Taking a look now at Madison’s numbers in the semi-finals, the highlight definitely goes to her return to serve with the two-time Grand Slam champion winning only 46.51% of her service points.
The bookmakers expect a close encounter with Vandeweghe available at 17/20 at Pinnacle while Coral offers 11/10 for Keys’ victory. Despite Madison’s higher experience at this level, Coco should be too strong for her fellow countrywoman. With this in mind, our suggestion is for you to place a bet on Vandeweghe to lift the trophy. In addition to the value on Coco’s moneyline, placing a bet on the world no.24 to cover her -1.5 Set Handicap at 21/10 at Pinnacle is also a good approach for those who want to take a higher risk.
