At the age of 23, Garbine Muguruza is trying to become the first Spanish player to win the US Open since Arantxa Sánchez Vicario in 1994. Despite her disappointing 2 – 4 record on her previous four appearances in Flushing Meadows, Muguruza is enjoying great success on this year’s edition. Famous for her aggressive return to serve, Garbine won 68.20% of her opponents’ service games throughout this competition.
Petra Kvitova continues her successful campaign in Flushing Meadows. Despite her lack of success in recent months, the two-time Wimbledon champion is always a fearful opponent on the big stages. Adding to this, Kvitova produced one of her best performances since her comeback from injury against Caroline Garcia in the previous round with 22 winners and only 14 unforced errors.
This should be a very interesting contest between two Grand Slam champions. Due to Garbine’s brilliant results in recent months, it’s not surprising to see the Spaniard as the main favourite to win this match 2/5 at Bet365. Nevertheless, it’s impossible to ignore the tremendous value on Kvitova’s betting odds at 11/5 at William Hill. Having said that, our suggestion is for you to place a bet on the Czech’s moneyline in a match where Petra should create many problems to the main contender.
Best Play: Petra Kvitova ML at 11/5 at William Hill
Against all expectations, the 2006 US Open champion – Maria Sharapova – is already in the 4th round of the US Open. Despite long absence, the Russian continues to be one of the greatest competitors in the game. Taking a look now at Maria’s campaign on this event, the five-time Grand Slam champion reaches this stage of the competition after a 7 – 5 6 – 2 win over Sofia Kenin.
Known as one of the most talented players in the game, Anastasija Sevastova is never an easy opponent to face. Adding to this, the Latvian holds a phenomenal 87.50% winning record on her last two appearances in Flushing Meadows. Looking now at Sevastova’s numbers in New York, the highlight definitely goes to her return to serve with the world no.17 winning 67.90% of her opponents’ service games on this event.
The bookmakers expect a straightforward win from Sharapova with the Russian available at 19/50 at Pinnacle while 5Dimes offers 47/20 for Anastasija’s victory. Even though we agree with Maria’s favouritism, it’s hard to find any value on her current price. Therefore, our advice is for you to place a bet on Sevastova’s +1.5 Set Handicap at 47/50 at Pinnacle as the best betting approach for this encounter.
