Svitolina has played brilliantly so far in this tournament, the surface suits her, and she's never lost against Barty (5-0). This will however, be the best version of Barty she's ever played, so I don't expect an easy match, but I do expect Svitolina to ultimately prevail against the world #1 to retain her title, very possibly in a 3 set classic.

There's a lot at stake here. They also look well matched statistically, and although Bertens leads the head to head 3-0, 2 of those 3 previous matches went 3 sets. Surely over 21.5 is a sound betting play for this match.

Surprisingly, in the 9 matches these players have competed head to head in, only 3 of them have clocked in at over 22 total games. However, there is a lot at stake in this match, and surely both players will fight hard. Both also looked highly impressive in their previous round robin matches, so my recommendation is bet over 22 total games, primarily because I find it quite difficult to assess which player is most likely to win this match, as it looks like a genuine 50/50, particularly if the same Halep that vanquished Andreescu shows up.

Barty leads the head to head 5-0 going into this match, but 4 of those 5 previous encounters were long 3 set affairs. Their last 3 meetings all went 3 sets, and all took place this year, so I anticipate more of the same here, making over 21 total games my preferred betting play.

I'm not thrilled with these odds, but I rate Andreescu very highly.

There's not much to separate these two players in terms of serve and return numbers, for the past 12 months, (indoor and outdoor hard court combined). Pliskova is of course the bigger server, and Svitolina possesses the more complete ground game. Perhaps the most telling statistic is that despite leading the head to head 5-4, Pliskova is 1-4 against Svitolina in their last 5 meetings. Svitolina also won their most recent encounter, which is the only time they've played each other on an indoor hard court. It's a tough call, but I take Svitolina to prevail again today, in a hard fought match.
