The action continues in Zhuhai with the Day 2 of the WTA Elite Trophy taking place. Bookmakers Review breaks down the fixtures below and lists the best available odds from green listed bookmakers.
Konta vs. Stosur
The Azalea Group gets underway this Tuesday with Johanna Konta and Samantha Stosur fighting for a crucial victory.
It’s quite surprising to see Samantha Stosur ending the year inside the top 20 due to her poor 32 – 23 record in 2016. However, Stosur played at her best level in Roland Garros and Madrid, two high level events on clay. Looking now to Sam’s performance on other surfaces, the Australian only won 45.83% of the matches played on Hard Court throughout the season.
After an incredible year, with Johanna Konta breaking into the top 10 for the first time in her career, the British is looking for a perfect end in Zhuhai. Playing on Asia clearly brings the best out of Konta with an outstanding 65.22% winning record while her overall record is 60.55%. Johanna is the main favourite to win this Azalea Group yet, she’ll have to prove that status on the court.
These two players will face each other for the first time in their careers. Looking now to the bookmakers’ analysis, Konta is the favourite for this contest at 33/100 at Bet365 while Pinnacle offers 66/25 for Stosur’s victory. Johanna is clearly at a higher level and due to Sam’s poor record in recent months, we recommend you to take Konta’s -1.5 Set Handicap at 43/50 at Pinnacle as the best betting approach for this match.
