WTA Sydney, Second Round
Kasatkina v Mertens
Due to start at 1:30 am
Kasatkina 3-1. Most recent Aug 2021, hard, Kasatkina in 2. Mertens won on hard in 2017, 2 sets.
Long term hard win %’s favour Mertens. 12 month hard results are even.
Kasatkina reached the semis last week. She was poor in that semi and didn’t hold serve once. This week her serve was much better against Kenin.
Mertens didn’t have as good a season in 2021 as she did in 2020. I wasn’t bad though and she reached the 4th round at the Australian Open and 4th round at the US Open. She also reached the semis in San Jose in August.
Fair chance of 3 sets. Stats for their last 10 on hard are quite even.
Back Kasat around 2.20 to 2.30 and remove liab at 1.70. Lay set 1 winner.
WTA Sydney, Second Round
Badosa v Tomljanovic
Due to start at 8 am
1st meeting.
Long term hard win %’s favour Badosa. She had better results in the last 12 months. Badosa was disappointing last week but played a much better match to beat Ostapenko this week.
Tomljanovic lost to Kenin last week. This week she easily took the 1st set from Schmiedlova but went behind in set 2 before recovering her game and winning in 2 sets.
Back Badosa around 1.95 to 2.10 and remove liab at 1.45. If Badosa is a little below her best this can go to 3 sets.
