PETERSON (2.06) V LINETTE (1.91) 

Peterson leads the head to head 1-0. Peterson is the more powerful player but Linette is nicely in form so it should be a close match here. Peterson has a far better record on hard courts 115-56 compared to Linette 139-105 

LAY LINETTE IF SHE HITS 1.60 DURING THE FIRST SET OR AT 1.20 IF SHE WINS THE FIRST SET, EXIT 2.20 

WTA ZHENGZHOU

ZHENG (2.56) V RISKE (1.64) 

Riske leads the head to head 4-2 but on hard courts, it becomes 2-2 with Zheng both the last two meetings. Zheng record this season is 12 -10 compared to Riske 16-12 and both are similar players in that they don’t possess hugely powerful groundstrokes but Riske likes to stay int he points and force her opponent to make the mistakes whereas Zheng is slightly more attacking and I feel that will be the difference today and favour Zheng to come through.

SVITOLINA (3.55) V WILLIAMS (1.39) 

Williams leads the head to head 4-1 on hard courts it becomes 3-1 but I am not reading too much into this as since their meetings, Williams is not the same player and neither is Svitolina. Williams has come through losing just one set so far but Svitolina has yet to drop a set and has beaten some top-class players in Konta, Keys, Yastremska and Venue Williams while Serena in truth has had on paper as easier run through here. Svitolina has great movement and will look to keep the rallies Long against Williams who will look to be very aggressive to keep the points shorter. 

LAY WILLIAMS @ 1.39 - RELAY 1.18 BACK @ 2.60 - 1.70

VEKIC (1.96) V GOERGES (2.0) 

Goerges leads the head to head 3-0, Vekic has been laying very well and my heart ays she could win this outlooking purely at the stats there is a reason Goerges leads 3-0 and it is purely that the matchup favours her game, she does everything just that little bit better than Vekic. 

LAY VEKIC 1.96 - RELAY 1.40 - EXIT 3.0 - 1.90 

OSAKA (1.48) V BENCIC (3.0) 

Bencic leads the head to head 3-1, including 2-0 on hard courts Bencic has only dropped one set in this tournament so far and is getting better and better, Osaka has also been playing decent but taking into account the head to head and Bencic’s form then the price’s are wrong. 

LAY OSAKA 1.48 - RELAY 1.18 - EXIT 2.30 - 1.32

MARTIC (2.20) V SEVASTOVA (1.77) 

Head to head is tied at 1-1 with both meetings on clay, Both have come through their matches with a minor scare but it is Martin who I feel is playing the more consistent tennis and think she comes through this match but I need Sevastova to be a shorter price before laying. 

LAY SEVASTOVA @ 1.40 EXIT 

2.20 KENIN (2.60) V KEYS (1.60) 

Head to head is tied at 1-1, both players been in excellent form with Kenin reaching the QF at Cincinnati before winning her matches here in straight sets, Keys won Cincinati and has also won her matches here with ease. This should be a great match as the head to head shows Kenin winning once on clay earlier this season and Keys winning most recently on hard court in two very tight sets. I would have to say the value s on laying Keys at the start as 1.60 is too short a price in the match up but calling a winner will be tough. 

LAY KEYS @ 1.60 EXIT 

2.20 SVITOLINA (1.60) V YASTREMSKA (2.60) 

Svitolina 19-9 and Yastremska 16-8 record on hard courts so far this season shows they are both very much at home. Gauff’s presence has helped Yastremska avoid the media attention as everyone is focusing on the young American but Yastremska looks like the real deal to me with her super aggressive return game she will cause Svitolina problems today. 

LAY SVITOLINA @ 1.60 EXIT 2.40

SWIATEK (2.02) V SEVASTOVA (1.94) 

Swiatek has a 17-7 record this year on hard courts, compared to Sevastova 8-9 who has struggled for consistency this season even during her favoured clay-court season. Swiatek has probably the most aggressive return of serve on tour and I can see her overpowering the variation of Sevastova on this court. 

LAY SEVASTOVA 1.94 EXIT 1.35 

WOZNIACKI (1.70) V COLLINS (2.36)

7-6 Wozniacki and 11-8 Collins are their respective records on hard court this season, both came through tough first-round matches in three sets. They have only met on clay in their head to head with Wozniacki winning last season at the French Open and Collins winning this season after Wozniacki retired after losing the first set, although interestingly two of the three sets went to tie breaks so it suggests the players are closely matched, I believe Collins has a little more power on her shots and I fancy her to come through a tight match up. 

BACK COLLINS 2.36 EXIT 1.40

Bouchard (5.5) V Sevastova (1.21) 

Neither player has been in good form recently with Bouchard having a 6-13 win-loss record this season on hard courts and Sevastova 7-9. Sevastova should come through here but I am happy to lay as I expect Bouchard to keep it tight at the start. 

LAY SEVASTOVA 1.21 - EXIT 1.50 

Puig (2.68) V Peterson (1.56) 

Peterson leads the head to head 1-0, Puig has the attacking game to cause Peterson problems here. 

LAY PETERSON 1.25 - EXIT 1.80 

Riske (2.08) V Muguruza (1.85) 

Muguruza leads the head to head 2-1, Riske 14-11 Muguruza 17-8 win-loss records so far this season. Riske is a consistent player but Muguruza should overpower her in this match up. 

BACK MUGURUZA 1.85 - REBACK MUGURUZA 2.60 - EXIT 1.30 

Putintseva (1.44) V Brengle (2.82) 

Brengle is consistent and played well on the ITF circuit at Landisville in her last tournament winning outright and it sets up perfectly here. Puntintseva is always vulnerable on serve and both players can struggle against power players but neither of these is that. 

LAY PUTINTSEVA 1.44 - RELAY 1.20 - EXIT 2.20 

Potapova (2.30) V Gauff (1.72) 

Gauff had a great run to the third round at Wimbledon, but Potapova in my eyes currently is a class above and the odds are the wrong way round providing Potapova is fit.

PETKOVIC (2.10) V JABEUR (1.84) 

Petkovic leads the head to head 1-0, This is the surface that Jabeur struggles with the most as shown by her career win-loss record of 83-72 but over the past two seasons it reads 15-21, Petkovic is no great shakes either but over the same period her record reads 163-130 and 20-19. LAY JABEUR @ 1.80 + 1.40 - BACK @ 3.0 

KUDERMETOVA (2.20) V PUIG (1.76) 

Puig came through yesterday in a tight three-set match against Potapova even though she was behind in the deciding set, Kudermetova is more consistent and while her best level is not the same as Puig she is more likely to produce her game than the wholly inconsistent Puig. This year record on hard courts reads Puig 7-9 and Kudermetova 15-9. LAY PUIG 1.76 + 1.30 BACK @ 2.50

AZARENKA (1.76) V YASTREMSKA (2.28) 

Azarenka surprised me by beating Giorgi easily in straight sets but that was mainly down to the Italian having an off day, Yastremska was very impressive in overpowering Konta in her previous match and she will put Azarenka’s serve under extreme pressure in this match up with her aggressive return game and I expect the youngster to come through. 

BACK YASTREMSKA @ 2.28 EXIT 1.50 

OSTAPENKO (1.79) V PAVLYUCHENKOVA (2.20) 

Ostapenko leads the head to head 3-1 but they have only met once on outdoor hard courts and Pavlyuchenkova won in straight sets last season, Ostapenko still looks very short of confidence and Pavlyuchenkova will be high on confidence after upsetting Sabalenka in three sets yesterday.

SWIATEK (2.14) V TOMLVANOVIC (1.85) 

Swiatek has an extremely aggressive return game and if she hits form then Tomljanovic will struggle to hold serve here. BACK SWIATEK @ 2.14 EXIT 

1.40 KERBER (1.46) V KASATKINA (3.05) 

Kerber leads the head to head 4-3, Kasatkina leads on hard courts 3-2, Kerber will probably win through but Kasatkina will push her and she should trade higher. LAY KERBER @ 1.46 BACK AT 1.90 

KEYS (2.0) V VEKIC (1.98)

Keys leads the head to head 2-0 and she has the power to hit through Vekic here. BACK KEYS @ 2.0 EXIT 

1.40 NAVARRO (1.85) V WILLIAMS (2.10)

Williams leads the head to head 7-3, hard courts it becomes 5-2 in Williams favour and similar to a few of the matches I have chosen today, Williams can overpower Navarro here if she is on form and I am quite surprised she is odds against despite her form. BACK WILLIAMS @ 2.10 EXIT 1.50 

COLLINS (1.74) V SINIAKOVA (2.24)

Siniakova is not on good form at present and does struggle a little on hard courts as her win-loss record of 71-61 through her career shows as well as this season she is 4-8, Collins has the power to hit through Siniakova here. BACK COLLINS @ 2.0+ EXIT 1.30 

AZARENKA (1.59) V GIORGI (2.64) 

Giorgi leads the head to head 2-0, Azarenka is struggling wit lack of tennis and it is showing. Giorgi played superbly at Washington in reaching the final. BACK GIORGI 2.64 LAY 1.65

RISKE (1.36) V LEPCHENKO (3.20)

Head to head is tied at 3-3, on hard courts Lepchenko leads 3-2. Riske played well at Wimbledon to reach the QF but grass is the surface she excels on and she can struggle a little on hard courts as opponents can overpower her as shown by her career record of 176-154. Lay Riske @ 1.36 - Exit 1.80+ 

HERCOG (1.54) V PETKOVIC (2.68)

Hercog leads the head to head 3-2 but on hard courts Petkovic won the two times they have met on hard courts and dropping just 5 games over those two matches! I have always thought Hercog has the same to transfer over to hard courts but she has struggled to transfer over her dirt form and although she may come through here I suspect she will trade higher taking into account their meeting on hard courts so I am laying at her current price and look to exit 2.20+
