AUSTRALIAN OPEN: BARTY V KVITOVA OVER 22.5 GAMES @ 2.10

WTA NEWPORT BEACH 

DAY TO BEAT LAO @ 3.0 

Day leads the head to head 2-0, winning both matches on hard court, she was highlighted as a player with great potential but her form has fallen off a cliff but the start of a season I am hoping she can return to the player she looked like she was going to become and with her head to head record she looks good value here.

BARTY V KVITOVA OVER 22.5 GAMES @ 2.10 

Kvitova leads the head to head 3-0, the last two matches are the ones to pay particular attention to as they has been close encounters especially the final at Sydney earlier this month in which Barty was 3-0 in the deciding set before Kvitova fought back to claim a narrow win In a tie break both those two last matches contained 3 sets and total games were 27 and 32 and I see no reason to expect anything different here. 

PLISKOVA TO BEAT WILLIAMS @ 3.40 

Williams leads the head to head 2-1, both have been impressive in reaching this stage but now is the time for Pliskova to finally make the step up in Grand Slams and the way she demolished Muguruza yesterday was impressive if she plays to that standard again then she stands a fantastic chance against Serena here

SVITOLINA TO BEAT OSAKA @ 2.25 

Svitolina leads the head to head 3-2 all on hard courts, Neither player has overly convinced here so far but they have both battled their way to this stage. Svitolina’s defence and counter punching is something Osaka has struggled with in the past as she can try to hit too many winners as she can struggle to rally with Svitolina and that is what I think may happen again and Svitolina grinds her down in three sets
