We’ve reached the decisive day with the last round of the WTA Elite Trophy Round Robin stage taking place this Friday. Bookmakers Review breaks down the fixture below and lists the best available odds from green listed bookmakers.
Kvitova vs. Strycova
Two Czech players will fight this Friday in Zhuhai for the Peony Group first place – Petra Kvitova and Barbora Strycova.
After winning 13 of her last 15 matches, Petra Kvitova is the main favourite to leave Zhuhai with the trophy. The two-time Wimbledon champion is going through a great moment and her 6 – 1 6 – 2 victory over Roberta Vinci earlier this week is a great example of that. After her first match, Petra said that the courts clearly suit her game style with the Czech ending the match with 82.05% points won on serve.
Barbora Strycova also started her campaign in Zhuhai with a straight sets victory against Roberta Vinci. Known for her tricky game style, Strycova is never an easy opponent. However, Barbora was far from reliable on serve against Vinci, allowing four breaks of serve to the Italian and winning only 51.16% of the points played with her first serve.
Even though Barbora can be a very tricky opponent, Kvitova seems to handle her game style very well with a 6 – 1 lead on the h2h. The bookmakers are well aware of that, pricing Petra as the main favourite for this contest at 17/50 at 5Dimes while Pinnacle offers 273/100 for Strycova’s triumph. We agree with Petra’s favouritism and for that reason, our recommendation is for you to take her -1.5 Set Handicap at 9/10 at SBOBET.
