Three quick previews for tonight’s earlier tennis action.
I like both the underdogs in the action in Hua Hin. I thought Wang was a little fortunate to get over the line against Putintseva, and with Wang taking an MTO late in the match there is a slight question mark around her fitness overall. I’m pretty high on Shnaider’s level relative to her ranking and odds, and it was another strong showing against Galfi in the quarter final. She is playing with incredibly high confidence in the conditions, and for me it’s hard to pass up the just over evens for her at the moneyline.
Wang Yafan is another that caught my eye at the odds. She’s somewhat been flying under the radar too, and pushed Zheng Qinwen to a final set tiebreak at the Australian Open. I think she has all the tools to make life a little challenging for Zhu here, who has looked a little better this week, but meets a step up in opposition quality here, and I don’t feel the odds have accurately reflected this. Happy to take Yafan at the moneyline in that one.
I took Putintseva yesterday in Hua Hin, but I have to be against her at the price today as she tries to progress through Abu Dhabi qualifying. It’s about 27 hours between Putintseva stepping off court after a 3 set loss in Thailand, and her stepping on court to face Masarova in Abu Dhabi in the first round of qualifying. Given a solid chunk of that turnaround time will have been spent in transit, it’s a tough ask for Putintseva to back up here. There is a bit to be desired in the very recent form of Masarova, but she looks to be value as a slight underdog in this one.
