WTA Ostrava - Ones to Watch at 14/1 and 16/1...
Tuesday 4th October 2022
Good morning. The day's play at WTA Ostrava begins at 11am, so I'll get straight to the point with my notes and selections this morning...
I've been waiting all season for ANETT KONTAVEIT to find some form again. A run to the final at her home event in Estonia last week could be the springboard we've been waiting for. The 26-year-old world no.3 was 5/1 at WTA Tallinn (indoor hard court) seven days ago. That was a smaller, 250-grade event. Ostrava in the Czech Republic is also indoors, and a higher 500-level tournament - and we get a bigger price to boot. Kontaveit can be backed at a top price of 14/1, and 10/1 in general.
Anett won this title last year, kick-starting a magnificent run that saw her go on to win four indoor tournaments in a row. Her career match win-loss percentage indoors is a very impressive 74%. As we've noted a few times with success recently, a player with a 70%+ record on a particular surface is one to follow.
If you want to follow a home player this week, then Ons Jabeur clearly leads the market for WTA Monastir, the first ever WTA event to be held in her country, Tunisia. Sometimes Ons wants the trophy a bit too much though (see: the Wimbledon final - by her own admission). Odds of 9/4 (3.25) outright are for confident Win Only backers only. In the Czech Republic, the home player that I like at a much more palatable 16/1 Each Way is KAROLINA PLISKOVA...
The 30-year-old world no.19 - a former world no.1 - has a very respectable 68% career match win-loss record indoors. Karolina has won in the Czech Rep before (WTA Prague). This year, after recovering from an arm injury, Pliskova has shown some form in big events - reaching the semi finals at the WTA 1000 event in Toronto, and the quarter finals at the US Open.
Those are my two picks for Ostrava this week. Pliskova plays today, with Kontaveit scheduled for Wednesday. If you miss the market before play starts this morning, look to jump on tonight when the day's play ends, or pre-11am tomorrow.
