DUQUE MARINO V MARIA TIG OVER 21.5 GAMES @ EVENS - BETWAY

Tig leads the head 2-1 with the average games played 21.33 per match. Both players have very similar serve and return stats and I can see this turning into either a long three setter or certainly two tight sets, difficult to pick a winner but certainly, overs is the value call here.

LINETTE TO BEAT TOWNSEND @ 5-6 BET365

Linette has been in excellent form of late, reaching the SF at Kuala Lumpur where she lost to Hibino narrowly, so far this week she has come through qualifying in straight sets including beating Hibino! Townsend has been playing decent reaching the last 16 in Acapulco but as always her movement is the issue, if she is given time to hit the winners then she is dangerous but I can see Linette moving Townsend around as she is playing with such confidence at the minute.

GOLUBIC TO BEAT DAVIS @ 2-1 BET365, BET VICTOR, PADDYPOWER, LADBROKES, CORALS

Golubic leads the head to head 1-0, in terms of recent form then Davis is streets ahead as she reached the QF at both Dubai and Doha whereas Golubic was knocked out on the last 32. I believe the match up to favour Golubic, she has a lot more variation to her game, is comfortable at the net and I think this variation is what will cause Davis problems as she is a player that does all things well but nothing outstanding and Golubic’s strong return game will cause problems for Davis’s serve especially if she does not get a high percentage of first serves in.

VEKIC TO BEAT RISKE @ 9-4  BET365, SKYBET, PADDYPOWER, LADBROKES, CORALS

Vekic leads the head to head 1-0 and quite simply she has the power to hit through Riske on the court, Riske can really struggle against players that can out hit her and Vekic although very unpredictable if she has a going day then 9-4 will look a huge price.
