VICKERY TO BEAT OSAKA @ 2-1

Vickery has been in good form on the ITF circuit reaching the QF and SF in two of her last three tournaments and has taken that confidence into this tournement winning four matches so far including Bouchard and Muguruza. Osaka beat Sharapova and Radwanska here so far and has looked impressive, she relies heavily on her serve and Vickery’s aggressive return game will cause her problems

SEVSTOVA TO BEAT GOERGES @ 2-1

Goerges leads the head to head 4-2, both started the season on fire and Goerges has found consistency to her game which makes her a fearsome opponent, Sevastova has great variation and this is the key to beating Goerges here, taking the pace off the ball, drop shots and great variation which can upset Goerges as she likes pace on the ball and anything else can unsettle her.

ZHUK TO BEAT COLINS @ 11-10  + OVER 22.5 GAMES @ 11-10

Collins leads the head to head 3-0, their last two meetings have gone to three sets, both had good victories yesterday with Zhuk eventually getting past Rybriakova on her 12th match point and Collins carrying on the demise of Madison Keys outside of the grand slams as I predicted at the start of the season. Despite the head to head I am siding with Zhuk here as she has impressed me this week with an excellent serve and very good all round game. The total games has been covered in two of their three meetings and more importantly in their last two meetings
