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. 

BACK PAVLYUCHENKOVA @ 2.20 EXIT 1.50

ROGERS CUP (TUESDAY) 2019

ROGERS CUP 2019

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+

SAN JOSE  

ZHANG (1.99) V COLLINS (1.91) 
Back Collins if she hits 2.40+ in play. 

WATSON (2.42) V ZHENG (1.66) 
Zheng leads the head to head 1-0. Back Zheng if she hits 2.0+ 

WASHINGTON 

BOUCHARD (2.44) V DAVIS (1.68) 

Bouchard leads the head to head 2-1, Bouchard struggling again this season but in the match up she has overpowered Davis and I see no reason why she won’t do this again, her weight of shot proves too much for Davis on hard courts as shown by their head to head record as Davis won on clay and in the other two there were straight-set victories for Bouchard and I expect the same again. Back Bouchard 

SINIAKOVA (1.74) V PEGULA (2.32) 

Siniakova has struggled lately and looks low on confidence and her record on hard courts this season of 4-7 shows this, Pegula is very happy playing in the US and her 8-4 record so far shows she is improving she should keep this very close and I am looking to lay Siniakova here 

MLADENOVIC (1.69) V ROGERS (2.36)

Head to head is tied at 1-1, Lay Mladenovic as she struggles on hard courts and although Rogers is not in great form she has the weight of shot to use Mladenovic huge problems here. Back Rogers PUIG (1.49) V KIICK (2.98) Puig is very attacking but hugely unpredictable as she hits the ball very flat and very hard, Kiick is a solid opponent and I expect her to trade a lot shorter than her current price. Lay Puig at the current price. 

KARLSRUHE KORPATSCH (2.04) V FRIEDSAM (1.81) 

Both excellent players on clay court but Korpatsch won the ITF title at Prague in her last outing and her confidence should be sky-high, I expect her to win at least a set so happy to lay Friedsam

LOTTNER (2.04) V RUSE (1.85) 

Lottner is ranked 186 and Ruse ranked 179, both have very similar records on clay throughout their careers but Lottner has had the better results so far this season with a 16-7 record compared to Ruse’s 8-5. This match has 3 sets written all over it but I just fancy Lottner to come through

SEVASTOVA (1.59) V POTAPOVA (2.70) 

Potapova leads the head to head 1-0 winning this year in three sets in Prague on clay, Potapova is the next star in waiting having proved herself on the Junior Circuit, both players and very comfortable on clay and it has the makings of a very close match and I am happy to lay Sevastova at her current price and look to exit at 2.20+ 

WTA PALERMO

SAMSONOVA (2.62) V TEICHMAN (1.54) 

Teichmann leads the head to head 1-0 winning last year in Rome on clay in straight sets. Samsonova has a decent record of 101-61 record on clay and she has played pretty fearless tennis this week, I think she can take this today and happy to lay Teichmann at her current price, look to exit around 2.40+

FRIEDSAM (1.62) V VOEGELE (2.50) 

Voegele leads the head to head 3-1 including once on clay, both players are quite happy on clay but I have to go with the head to head record here and favour Voegele to come through and will lay Friedsam at 1.60 and look to exit at 2.40+ 

ARRUABARRENA (3.05) V ZIDANSEK (1.43) 

Arruabarrena leads the head to head 1-0, winning this season in Bogota on clay in straight sets. Both players enjoy playing on clay but Zidansek likes shorter points and Arruabarrena does not mind grafting the point out and this is where she holds the advantage here. I am laying Zidansek at 1.40 and look to exit at 2.0+

KIICK (2.28) V STOSUR (1.73) 

Kiick leads the head to head 1-0, both happy on clay Kiick 105-50 record and Stosur 158-90 but Stosur’s record over the last 2 seasons reads 13-12 and she is struggling to maintain her consistency and level to what it was, The last 2 seasons for Kiick has seen her record a 41-16 record so to see her not favourite for this clash astounds me. Lay Stosur at current price, happy to relay if she hits 1.30 as I think Kiick comes through this matchup. 

CORNET (1.52) V VIKHLYANTSEVA (2.80) 

Head to head is tied at 1-1 both matches were at Moscow on the indoor hard courts and both matches went to three sets, both these players are happy on clay and have looked in decent form here, I fancy 3 sets and happy to lay Cornet at her current price and look to close around the 2.60+ mark as I do fancy Vikhlyantseva to edge a tight match.

WTA WIMBLEDON 

SVITOLINA (3.10) V HALEP (1.47)

Head to head is tied 4-4 although they have never met on grass. Svitolina in the past has struggled on grass but this season she has been playing very well and although Halep is rightly the favourite I can see this match being closer than how it is priced up. I am laying Halep at her current price and look to exit around the 1.90 mark. 

WTA BASTAD

VIKHLYANTSEVA (1.75) V KOVINIC (2.30)

Vikhlyantseva the better player on clay and although I expect it to be tight she should come through but I want a price of 2.20+ before backing her to win LARSSON (1.91) V KRUNIC (2.04) Larsson leads the head to head 2-0 both wins in straight sets, she loves playing on clay and this tournament. Normally I don’t like backing players under 2.0 but on this occasion I am happy to back Larsson as I thing she comes through here in straight sets, if she starts slow then I am more than happy to back her at 2.50+ to top up.

WIMBLEDON 

STRYCOVA (2.30) V MERTENS (1.73) 

Mertens leads the head to head 1-0, Strycova has yet to lose a set here and been playing very impressively, Mertens came through a tough three-set match defeating Wang. Both players are happy on the grass and I think we see three sets here if Mertens is successful or two tight sets if Strycova comes through. I would favour Strycova to come through but I want to lay Mertens at a lower price than what she is currently at so will be looking to lay Mertens at 1.50 or below. 

BARTY (1.16) V RISKE (6.80) 

Riske leads the head to head 1-0, both players are excellent on the grass and both players are in spectacular form Barty winning the French Open then transferring her form onto the grass by winning Birmingham and not dropping a set in her three victories here. Riske won Hertogenbosch and has come through some tough matches here beating fellow grass court lover Donna Vekic and then yesterday a huge win in defeating Bencic despite being 3-0 down in the second set and facing three break points on her serve. Lay Barty for a low-risk trade her current price, the possibility is to either trade out the liability once she hits 1.25+ then play with the free trade money or just green out as I think Barty comes through but not easily.
