Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction One – Handicap (-1) for Kanepi – 1.86.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Games Under 21 – 2.18.
Kapeni has a strong attacking style of play, which suits the hard courts very well. Undoubtedly, she is not without mistakes, but at certain moments, she can rely on her powerful serve and her strong forehand.
The only head-to-head encounter between the two players was a short one. We expect the upcoming match to end rather quickly as well. Kanepi is in great form and with her attacking style of play should easily beat Daria Saville.
Daria Saville only had difficulty in her opening match against Mirjam Bjorklund (3-6, 7-5, 7-6). It took Daria three sets to defeat Mirjam.
Saville won her subsequent matches on a more comfortable score. First, she defeated Jessica Pegula (7-5, 6-4) in two sets, and then she won in two sets against Rebecca Marino (6-1, 7-5). This is Saville’s first semi-final of the season.
Daria Saville has won seven of her last eight matches on the hard.
Kanepi had little trouble against Greet Minnen at the start of the competition in Washington, defeating her in two sets (6-3, 6-3).
However, Kaia then played two very tough matches against Lin Zhu (4-6, 6-4, 6-4) and Anna Kalinskaya (6-7, 6-4, 6-3). This is the second semi-final for Kanepi this season. Earlier, Kaia reached the semi-final stage in Paris in May on clay.
Kaia Kanepi has completed three of her last five matches on the hard court in three sets.
In 4 of Kanepi’s last 5 matches, more than 9.5 games have been played in the first set. We offer to bet on “1st Set Games – Over 9.5” with odds of 1.99.
