Australian Open Women’s Singles SF
The top two seeds meet two strong semi-finalists in what is anticipated to be an action-packed sports betting affair in Melbourne.
Online gambling favourites Simona Halep and Caroline Wozniacki are predicted to dominate; but as what we have seen from Elise Mertens and Angelique Kerber so far, they are more than capable of pulling off a live betting upset.
Elise Mertens vs Caroline Wozniacki
Caro is two matches away to her first-ever Grand Slam title, so fans can expect her to go all out from here on.
Mertens, however, poses a huge threat to the hopeful Dane. Not only is the Belgian playing clean, aggressive tennis, but she also appears to be in a better form given the fact that she hasn’t dropped a single set in the tournament—even against the fourth-seeded Elina Svitolina.
Experience and defence will be Wozniacki’s primary weapons in this game, but she needs to avoid falling on the same trap as Svitolina, who retreated to a defensive style and played many of her shots safely.
I think this fight will go the distance, but I like the chances of Mertens on Money Line Odds that pays 2.63 given that she has the rest advantage over Wozniacki.
Angelique Kerber vs Simona Halep
Kerber showed everyone that she still has much left on her tank after destroying the big-hitting Madison Keys in just 51 minutes.
Her return game and defence are at their peak as proven by the fact that Keys was not able to hit even one service ace in their quarter-final meeting—that’s after the American had 26 aces in her first four matches in Melbourne.
World No.1 Halep will like her chances given her consistency in the tournament. It will also add to her confidence that she has dominated Kerber on outdoor hard court, 4-1. Nonetheless, what’s worrying about the Romanian is her habit of choking when it comes to the big games.
