Don’t miss our two top tennis plays for this Saturday’s action in London with the players from the top half of the draw fighting for a place in the 4th round. Bookmakers Review breaks down the fixtures below and lists the best available odds from green listed bookmakers.
Riske vs. Vandeweghe
Known as one of the best servers in the game, the fast game conditions on grass are perfect for Coco Vandeweghe’s powerful serve. In addition to her outstanding 48 – 20 career record on this surface, Vandeweghe has two titles to her name on the WTA Tour – both on s-Hertogenbosch’s grass. At the age of 25, Coco is now just one win away from reaching the 2nd week of Wimbledon for the third consecutive year.
Playing on grass brings the best out of Alison Riske. Regardless of this Saturday’s outcome, Alison already ensured her return to the top 40. Taking a look now at Riske’s campaign on this tournament, the 27-year-old American reaches this stage of the competition after a remarkable win over Kristina Mladenovic. Famous for her outstanding return to serve, Alison won 72.50% of the points on Mladenovic’s second serve.
Due to Vandeweghe’s brilliant record on this event, she’s the main favourite to win this match at 47/100 at Pinnacle while Riske is available at 7/4 at Bet365. However, this won’t be an easy match for any of these two players since they are very good friends off the court. Therefore, our advice is for you to take the Over 21.5 at 93/100 at Pinnacle since we expect a much closer contest than the odds suggest.
Radwanska vs. Bacsinszky
The 2012 Wimbledon runner-up – Agnieszka Radwanska – continues to pursue her first title in 2017. Despite her brilliant 60 – 25 career record on grass, the last months haven’t been easy for Radwanska with the 28-year-old Pole struggling with several physical problems. Adding to this, Agnieszka was far from impressive in the previous round against Christina McHale with the American unable to convert two match points on that match.
After reaching the French Open semi-finals, Timea Bacsinszky is looking for another successful campaign on a Grand Slam event. Known as one of the trickiest players on the WTA Tour, Bacsinszky is never an easy opponent to face. The world no.20 couldn’t have asked for a better result before this match after a sensational 6 – 1 6 – 0 victory against Kristina Kucova in the 2nd round.
In addition to Agnieszka’s lack of success in recent months, Timea holds the edger over the Pole with a 2 – 0 lead on the h2h. With this in mind, Bacsinszky deserves to be the main favourite to secure a place in the 4th round at 31/50 at William Hill while Pinnacle offers 39/25 for Radwanska’s victory.
