Although Donna Vekic isn't doing her best in her latest matches, this bet is still high-value. Vekic lost against Flipkens who is among the Top 20, but whose game style doesn't suit her. Flipkens has a lot wider "range" of hits, so she confused Vekic with her deep slices, only to surprise her with a short ball. Lisicki is not that kind of a player. She, just like Vekic, prefers strong forehand changes. Backhand is quite weaker than her forehand, and she almost never uses slices. True, unlike Donna, she has a lot better outings on the net, but Luxembourg is not as fast as other indoor surfaces. Besides, the main reason I will opt for this bet is the German's health condition. Only five days ago she forfeited the match in Osaka after she felt back pain in the first round, and hip pain in the second. There is a chance that was done on purpose in order to get back to Europe, but the chances for that are truly minimal. Vekic can stand up to her for a good part of the match, and I think the German won't risk to much, unless the situation gets hairy. And because of that I suggest a "one ball" bet, and I mean the bookmakers who treat forfeits after the beginning of the match as defeats. Details

I must say i was pleasantly surprised when I saw the odds on Mayr win, and even more when I saw the odds for 2-0 win. Zanevska was lucky to reach the second round. First, she lost the last qualification round against Pliskova and in that match she won just one game. That defeat was maybe a calculation since it was expect she will be in the main seed as a lucky loser, but that is not likely because Giorgi played after her. She played good in the first round, but she can not escape two facts. The first is that she again served under 50% and she had double digit number of double faults and the second fact is she again asked for medical attention due to problems with her quadriceps. She struggled with the same injury during qualifications and her movement was sometimes limited. On the other side, Mayr is playing at home, she played well against Cirstee and "made" her to do more unforced errors than she should have with her deep and aggressive balls. We will see a similar approach in this match and the stands will be full, which will put additional pressure on Zaveska and her already insecure second serve. Besides, Mayr has good return and she will win many "easy" points with her deep balls on return after the second serve. Details

Although I really do not like to play the spread in the Philippine league, this time I simply must go for it. The number of points limit is too high and does not have any value, while the Texters' win by 7 points is a great bet. Express exchanged players right before this game. They sent away Cortez, Sena and Isip, and in turn they got Taulava and Yeo. A truly hilarious move by Express' management, which will harm the team in the long run. None of the newly signed players is a game-winner, quite the contrary. Earlier this season Taulava played in the lower ranks and Yeo was merely an extra. On the other side, Cortez and Osip gave some good performances. Express are now a rather limited team, catastrophic in defense and trying to make up for that in the offense. They realistically lack ability for that as, except Canaleta and Graham, most of the team is below average. Their opponents, Texters, on the other hand, had four players selected for the national team at the recent championships. There is some obvious weariness in the defense as they don't seem to give their best at all. However, great progress in the offense is clearly visible, which is very important for this match. While Mitchell can because of his height outperform Graham, Reyes is one of the better defenders in the league and can stop Canaleta. Texters are much stronger in all positions and cannot afford a defeat in this game. That's why I expect their first good show in this conference and a really convincing victory, with a much bigger points difference than the bookmakers' offers. Their last head to head matches are not relevant because it was the now gone Cortez who played brilliantly and kept Express in the game. Details
