This should be a compelling match. In all probability there will be periods of high quality tennis – and periods where the most comfortable place to watch this contest from the sofa, with the ball being blasted at random angles to a ludicrious degree. In short, these are two players who won’t back off going for their shorts, and who are streaky – they can have periods where they rip winners, and there are also times where they simply can’t function. Kvitova blastedVictoria Azarenka off court in the first set of her semi-final, and then went missing for the second. Sharapova’s serve can often be a notoriously shaky creature as well.
On the other hand, these two have naturally positive instincts and will go for winners. It may make this as much of a mental test as one of tennis, as both players will have to be able to handle the periods when they are off their game as well as on. While this may in theory look to four the more experienced Sharapova, one of Kvitova”s assets is a very positive mental attitude. Sharapova has won their only previous meeting, and this really could, and should, be a closer battle than the odds-makers have priced it up as.
With the two players so close, the value bet lies in Petra Kvitova – this will also be a volatile in play match. Back Petra Kvitova at 11/8 by using our link with Betfred and you can claim a free £50 bet.
