The margin offered here is simply ridiculous. Dulgheru reached the second round because Zhang forgot how to play tennis at 4-2 in the second set. She had no solution for Dulgheru's aggressive approach and didn't manage to win the key points. But we have to be realistic about what Dulgheru did in that match. She was extremely bad on first serve and made too many mistakes in rallies, with her left-knee injury making it very difficult to win. She did nothing to justify these odds in the first set and a half while only taking what Zhang offered in the second match. Tatishvili displayed much better first serve in the match with Voegele and a good quality return should give her a lot of break points. Anne's win doesn't seem like a bad option with bookies who regard opponent retiring after the first set as a win since I wouldn't be surprised if Dulgheru doesn't make it till the end here. All things considered, the bet at +4.5 games for the American has a pretty good value. Details

The margin offered by online booking houses doesn't make any sense and I think it's been missed at least by one game. There are simply too many factors who favor Mirjana, and I'm convinced that from the start of the match the odds will additionally go down. As one of the factors it's important to points out Muguruza's bad Wimbledon results, but on grass in general too. She's a tennis player who often reaches points over the strong forehand, and she does't have enough time to react on grass so she makes too many errors. Besides, her footwork is really bad in these conditions. Because of that it's hard to trust her in these conditions. On the other hand, Mirjana didn't impress us in the first round either, but she played a lot better in a match against Shvedova. The quality of the game itself was bigger and she stayed calm in key moments. She hit the ball early, but she managed to control the hits and keep the number of errors to a minimum. When you add to it the excellent first serve, we can conclude that Mirjana won't go down without points earned. Although I first wanted to try this bet with Mirjana's win, I'm convinced this handicap has a bigger value since it can pass even in Mirjana loses in two sets. Details

None of these players were impressive in the first round. Pliskova had too many oscillations against Falconi and her game dropped at the end of the second set, and Coco didn't have a right challenge. The American played well, and what's more important for this bet, she was dominant on her serve. Schmiedlova was overly passive, but against Pliskova, she's the one who will be in a subordinated position. Since Karolina doesn't demolish her opponents, and Coco can counter her in the rallies, a decided for the over. There are too many factors that point to it, especially to the over 9.5 of the first set. Both usually win the first set in tiebreak, so Coco has seven overs in her last eight matches on grass-court, and Pliskova has 12 from 19 in the last three seasons. They both have similar aggressive game style, great serve on both sides and numbers that are in favor of this bet, and that is enough for me. Over 9.5 in the first set shouldn't be questionable. Details

It might seem rather bad to go with the handicap on the grass court at a player who has not et reached her potential, but I'm sure there are much more reasons in favor of this bet than against it. Radwanska is much better on grass and has much better footwork than Gallovits. She played the WTA final while her opponent always struggled in these conditions. She was mostly recording good results on clay and her serve is mostly based on the kick, which does not work on grass. Also, Gallovits has not had an official match in two months and has lost convincingly even at ITF level this season. Radwanska, no matter her form, is playing WTA tournaments where's she's capable to stand up to most opponents. Urszula has the upper hand in serving, she is more consistent in rallies and more confident when serving. Too many of her game segments are better than the opponent's and I'm sure she's cover this handicap despite not being too good on second serve because Gallovits will struggle in each and every one of her service games. Details

I have to admit that the odds sets at this match don't make too much sense. Granted, Wozniacki is not that bad on grass but she has not yet displayed her best game ehre. She was horrible for the most part of the first set and then took advantage of Petkovic's bad day in the last 9 games. Bencic had a real test against Konte, who is getting better each next day. She had to build her points and look for shortcomings in Konte's game. She would find them eventually to bring the opponent down. Bencic had some health problems before that match but her problems are much smaller compared to Wozniacki's. The Swiss had problems in the head, which can be easily sorted out while Woznaicki struggled with back problems. Either way, even if Wozniacki was 100% fit I would still go with this bet anyway. Belinda doesn't make too many mistakes in rallies and she cannot be defeated only because of unforced errors. Bencic is too confident on grass and I'm sure she'll cover this handicap. I would not be surprised even if she wins. Details

This handicap margin is simply set too low for me. Cornet doesn't have the game for grass, she lacks reaction time in the rallies and her passive game doesn't work under these conditions. McHale used that, even though she doesn't play quite impressively on grass herself, but Cornet simply gave away to much not to use it. Riske is on the other side, a player that plays her best tennis on grass and she already defeated Cornet on a slower court. Riske's serve is better and she will earn more free points on it, and her game in the rallies is suited for grass which doesn't suit Cornet. She is aggressive, she's known to hit some slices and she isn't afraid to get out to the net. Since Cornet is no match for her in the stroke strength, serve speed and aggressiveness, she will be in an inferior position once again, and playing like that, she can't do anything in this match. Details

The bet which the betting houses offer at over 9.5 games in the Kerber-Lisicki match seems completely illogical. The last two were decided only after three sets, and currently both are in excellent shape on the serve. Kerber is impressive with the throw-ins of her first serve and has the advantage in exchanges, while Lisicki is untouchable on the first serve. Since I expect a really tough battle, especially in the first set until one of them gathers the courage and takes the lead, over 9.5 seems like an excellent chance. True, the total over is also not a bad chance, but I'm afraid that the Lisicki-Hantuchova scenario doesn't repeat in which Daniela "fell apart" in the second set. Both tennis players are sure on their serve and none of them doesn't have the dramatic advantage in exchanges. Besides, they practiced together in Birmingham and know each other very well, so there are no secrets between them. All points to the first set being decided later. Details

I don't want to diminish Vickery's success in Nottingham, but she doesn't deserve to be in the quarter-finale. Diyas played better during the key points int he first part of the match, she won the first set and even served for the match twice. Even though she played worse, she used Vickery's nervousness and put herself in a great situation. However, not even 40-0, and later 40-15 on her serve weren't enough for her to win. Vickery admitted that she wasn't at 100% physically because she felt tired, and she was probably emotionally drained after the comeback in which she gave her 200%. Even if she hadn't, I would still bet on Konjuh. The Croatian has much stronger strokes than Diyas and she is capable of hitting winners. She will go for faster rallies and faster points, and that doesn't suit Vickery whose strongest suit is defense. She made 40 unforced errors against Diyas, but I expect less of them this time because the match won't last that long. Other than the advantage in the rallies, Konjuh is much more confident on her serve. She has a quality first serve, and she should be able to easily save it while Vickery offers a lot of chances on both her serves. All in all, I expect the Croatian to win convincingly. Details

Even though Dellacqua's playing well on the grass, Konjuh is on a different level in comparison. Ana's moving is great, she's got a plan and knows how to play. She reacts quickly, is aggressive, and those flat hits she sends, with low bounce, are doing great in these conditions. Add to that a great first serve, and it's obvious why I'm betting on her here. Casey likes grass, but her game isn't ideal for it. She's too focused on the longer rallies from the baseline, she doesn't go into the court, and she's too passive in general. That's why she never did a big result on the grass, except for that old Birmingham semifinal. The conditions in Nottingham are similar to those at Wimbledon, where Dellacqua always does badly, and where Konjuh played the third round last year. All the important factors show that Konjuh will win, and a handicap of two games seems an excellent option. Details

Govortsova has left a really great impression on the tournament so far. She is moving great, doesn't make too many mistakes and she is consistent on the deeper hits. Even though she hasn't played against especially quality players that could take the initiative from her and force her to make mistakes. True, Larcher de Brito is a 'landmine' on grass, and Govortsova played very well against her, but Niculescu is a different kind of player. Despite of that, I believe hat Govortsova will win convincingly. Nicolescu has shown in the match against Lepchenko some serving insecurity and that's the most important thing for Govortsova. She won 22 return games of possible 29 in Nottingam so far, and Niculescu is the ideal opponent for the continuation of that incredible return run. The Romanian offers too much on her serve and Govortsova will be able to win a lot of easy points with a deeper and more aggressive return. The handicap is set on only three games, but I personally expected at least -4 and I think this bet is worth a medium stake. Details

I expect Gimnasia to win in the third match as well. Although Penarol are more dangerous in front of their fans, but Gimnasia have shown they're collectively stronger. They have a lot more options on the bench and are capable to hold a fresh player on Osimani for the entire 40 minutes. On the other hand, Penarol still didn't manage to find a solution for Clancy in the paint and I'm convinced he will get them another win. Gimnasia surely won't repeat the mistakes from the first match when they left the shot in the paint open for other players. Although they convincingly lost to Penarol in an away match of the regular part of the season, they knew how to surprise them on their court. Penarol are not 100% and they don't have enough adequate substitutes and back players aren't capable of handling all of the load. Gimnasia will bring uncertainty into the third match and the counterhandicap is a bet I simply have to take. Details

Gajdosova saved 24 out of 25 serve games in Nottingham, with the incredible 93% first serve points. Even though she played the qualifiers, Eguchi, Haddad Maia and Larcher de Brito aren't the players who can blow that number out of proportions with an awful return, quite the contrary. Larcher de Brito plays excellent tennis on the grass, as she demonstrated at the Wimbledon. Still, Jarmila is untouchable in Nottingham. The courts and the conditions suit her ideally, and that is confirmed by the title in the singles, and also the doubles competition on this tournament last season, when it was still in the ITF category. McHale doesn't do well on the grass. She lacks security on her serve, but also determinedness in the rallies. She often doesn't dare come out into the court, and attack, and she hesitates with the transition. Gajdosova was rightfully set as a favorite on these courts, and her win with a handicap shouldn't be questionable. Details

It might not seem logical to play a handicap on a player who's not in a great form in her first grass match this season. Still, I'm convinced Saisai can't do anything in this match. Riske is playing grass much better than clay, and after two week break after being eliminated from the French Open, she had enough time to transition and adjust to the conditions. Good first serve, strong hits, and going to the net in a great way are the reasons Riske does well on the grass. Zheng can't do anything here. Considering the history of her results, and convincing defeats to players like Sirotkina and Johansson, it's clear she doesn't have the game for the grass. The conditions don't suit her, her serve is slow and it shows, and the low bounce makes defending herself difficult. All in all, Riske shouldn't have problems in this match, and her handicap is more than a good bet. Details

I don't see any logic in the odds for this match. Wang was an underdog against Kristyna Pliskova yesterday, and after that surprise, the bookmakers suddenly believe her. In my humble opinion, they shouldn't. It's hard to even describe what was happening in that match. Pliskova got into a series of errors, she used only three of 13 break point chances and played one of her worst matches of the season. Wang went for the ball early and she played well, but only 35% of points won after her second serve is something Kania will know how to use. On the other hand, grass is not Kania's favorite surface as well. She has only seven matches is her professional career, but it can be said even before the match starts that she will not give anything away to Wang. Kania has been more consistent, and judging by her match against Dabrowski, she is more confident on her serve. She gave only one break point chance and demonstrated really confident serve. To sum up: even though Kania is lower ranked, she has too many advantages here. The ranking is an irrelevant factor in these conditions, and far more important factor is her serving confidence, which will earn her another win. Details

San Martin do not know how to play a slow-paced basketball and the only way for them to win is through productive games. They have a great transition that often settles their games but a really extraordinary offense as well. De Groat, Wood and Ciorcari make an unstoppable trio since Ciorcari is good at long-range shots while the other two often attack the rim, looking for faults. La Union beat Regatas through defense but they displayed good offensive performances in that series as well. The offense made the difference, contrary to what was being said before that Regatas will win the title through defense. They were not able to stop Union's offense at all. The visitors are capable of scoring over 90 points themselves and that gives extra value to this tip. San Martin will look for a game as productive as possible and Ciorcari will know what to do for that. I don't expect the visitors opposing to it too much and anything up until the 173.5 points is worth medium stake. Details

Everything in this match will come down to Svitolina and her game. She displayed a good tennis against Wockmayers and in she does the same today her opponent won't stand a chance. She was more consistent and confident in longer rallies while at the same time firing good first serves. Graned, Putintseva did well against Krunic as well but Aleksandra failed miserably in that match. She was too passive, had less than 50% of first serve and basically gave Yulia the win on a silver platter. It's well known Yulia is not very patient which forces her into a streak of unforced errors. On top of that, she's not a good server (lost 6 service games against Krunic). Svitolina is such a heavy favorite because all of that. The Ukrainian simply has a response for everything Putintseva has to offer. Details

Sionista stand no chance in this series as Quimsa simply have a response for each and every of their attempts in offense, especially against Rodgers, who have been the driving force at Sionista all season long. Since he announced that he's leaving the team three weeks ago, Rodgers doesn't seem to motivated at the moment, having received a lot of criticism for him less-than-convincing performances in the Quimsa matches. When it comes to the visiting team, Sanander finally managed to get Aguirre going and the team found rhythm in the best of moments. Aguirre, Mainoldi and battle make the trio capable of penetrating an defense. Battle might not score a lot of points but he's doing a great job in rebounding and defense. I think the home court advantage won't be important for Sionista since they don't have enough solutions on the bench. They have to play the same basketball like in the last two games and that should result in the same kind of outcome - a win for Quimsa. Details
