Jelena Ostapenko (+142) vs Timea Bacsinszky (-151)

[Blackballer]

Timea is playing really strong in this tournament. Jelena will fight hard but eventually I think Timea should advance in 3 sets.

Timea Bacsinszky adavancing in 3 set @ +275 is too good to pass on. Best of luck to everyone.

The Halep match the books see Halep at shorter odds than Bacsinszky vs Ostapenko.
Halep is the big favorite currently @ -315 (currently at Pinnacle), ridiculously low odds considering that the odds opened at -230 in favor of Halep (again Pinnacle)

Halep is playing really solid and should advance to the final here, the only question is where we can get some value.
The game handicap -4.5 favors Halep @ -120 (BET365 but juiced compared to other books).

Or Halep in straight sets @ -138 but of course with more juice.
If you like to get risky then under 8.5 total games in 1st set @ +162 could also be a good option (small stakes though)

Ostanpenko got a break that slightly concerns me now.

Not really sure why bacinsky was favored... even before the match. Books I guess didnt see value in setting a -110 all? Halep should get business done. Far superior on clay

Naw, books were alright. At the end Ostanpenko won of course but when you saw Ostanpenko's last game were she was the underdog as well. She is a young rising star. Books haven't seen how good she is playing during the tournament. They made Bacsinszky the favorite maybe because of her experience compared to Ostapenko and Bacsinszky was playing really well during the French Open let's not forget that.

Yeah agree. Halep should take care of business otherwise alot of money will be burnt today on a big favorit.
