Lepchenko (3.0) V Sevastova (1.40)
Sevastova leads the head to head 2-1
Zheng (1.93) V Stosur (2.02)
Stosur is awful on the grass and I have to lay her here and she really does struggle on this surface which is surprising considering her serve.
Azarenka (1.68) V Garcia (2.34)
Garcia leads the head to head 2-0, she has an excellent service and Azarenka has played so little tennis she is struggling for consistency and these courts will play to the strengths of Garcia after her excellent win at Nottingham and I can see her winning here in three or two tight sets.
WTA BIRMINGHAM
Ostapenko () V Swiatek ()
Ostapenko has been in dreadful form and only won two of her last 10 matches and that was on her favoured clay surface, Swiatek had a great run at the French Open reaching round 16 before losing to Halep, she has won her 3 matches her to qualify and her aggressive return of serve will cause Ostapenko huge problems on her service game. I am looking at backing Swiatek at anything above 2.0 as I think she wins this in straight sets.
Dart (2.40) V Putintseva (1.67)
Putintseva really struggles on the grass and while she is the better player I suspect Dart although not great on grass will take this to three sets as she has played more on the grass and I am happy to lay Putinsteva around the 1.60 mark.
Vekic (3.0) V Barty (1.47)
Vekic loves grass and I have already backed her for success at Wimbledon this year, Barty too but I am concerned how she will react after her French Open win as sometimes it can cause a bit of a hangover. I will back Vekic here and look to exit if she hits minimum1.80 depending on how the match is going.
