WTA Finals

[zorian]

The WTA Finals take place in Shenzhen in the coming days. The last major women's tennis tournament this year. The 8 girls who did it best this year, which happens to be the first octave of the world rankings, are split into two groups and will do their best to win this important trophy.
At Red Group we have Australia's Ashleigh Barty, who with this year's tournaments has managed to climb the No 1 of the world beyond any prediction! We still have 22 year old Japanese Naomi Osaka, No 3 in the world, No 6 today Petra Kvitova, and beloved Swiss Balinda Bencic, who is the underdog of the event.
In the other group, Purple Group, we have 27-year Czech Karolina Pliskova (my favorite), No 2 of the world rankings, Canada's Bianca Andreescu, who is a favorite because she has been in good shape in recent months, Romanian Simona Halep, who is located in No 5 in the world right now and 25 year old Ukrainian Elina Svitolina, No 8 in the world.

My personal choices (and preferences) are:
Pliskova at 8 (Bet365) Svitolina 10 (Stoiximan), Bencic 15 (Stoiximan)
From 5 euros each
Depending on how they go in the groups and which ones will go into the semifinals I'll see what I'll keep and sell before the end

The tournament started yesterday with two very good games. Naomi Osaka beat Petra Kvitova in a heartbreaking match. After taking the first set at the tie break, the Japanese then lost the second with 4-6, again playing very good tennis. So she went on to the third and final set and won the 6-4 in turn, even getting her first win. The Czech was good, but it seems to be well below the good old Kvitova who played in Ni 1 of the world.
In the other match, "my" Belinda Bencic lost to Ashleigh Barty. She gave everything and won the first set 7-5 but then Barty seemed cooler and more consistent in her game and easily took the other two sets 6-1 and 6-2.

Today, in the first match of the day, at 12:30, two players are playing that I have bet both on for the conquest. Pliskova with Svitolina. I expect it to be a very nice game and the odds are split. Bet365 gives odds of 2,00 for the victory of Ukraine and Stoiximan 1,80 for the victory of the Czech Republic. You pick and choose. I do not bet anything in the beginning, until I see all the girls play at once.
In the other match, indifferent to me, Andreescu plays with Halep and with the odds given all he is worth is betting on Romania.

 

[zorian]

In 2 strong sets Elina Svitolina managed to beat Pliskova with 2-0 (7-6 6-4) and be the one to get her first win in the tournament. In the other game, it was worth the stake in Romania's Halep, after overthrowing Andreescu. Even though he lost the first set with 6-3 then he won the second in the tie break with 8-6 and in the third set he won 6-3 and paid 2,50 (!)

 

[zorian]

Tomorrow are the second matches in the Red Group. On 12: 30 Barty plays with Osaka, and then Kvitova plays with Bencic. The favorite in the first race is Japan and in the second is Czech. I prefer to play in favor of Barty in the first match, because I think that with a good appearance she has Japanese. In the second match I would play for Bencic but if he loses he will be out of the tournament so it would be a double loss. So I'll just watch there. And we'll see.........

 

[zorian]

As soon as the Swiss Bencic match with Kvitova is over and the little Swiss has won with the 2-1 set (6-3 1-6 6-4) and with another win in the 3 the group match will be in the group match !!
In the other game we had developments. One of the main favorites, Naomi Osaka left the tournament due to a shoulder injury and was replaced by No 10 (after Serena Wiliams) Dutch KiKi Bertens, who today won Barty's 2-1 set (3-XNUM). 6-6 3-6) and has somehow messed up the situation in the red group. Nothing has been cleared up today and everything will be decided on Thursday.

 

[zorian]

Today's games were the best for my choices !! Svitolina beat Halep (7-5 6-3) and advanced to the semifinals, while Pliskova got the 1 set against Andreescu (6-3), who left after an injury. Friday's match between Halep and Pliskova will decide who will be the second of the semifinals from this group.
On the exchange market Svitolina is already making a profit. If Pliskova reaches the semifinals, the price will certainly drop to the lay, which is still high. And if Bencic wins tomorrow I'm not discussing it, it's going to be a party

 

[zorian]

Tomorrow's games are Barty - Kvitova on 12: 30 which is completely indifferent to my bets and then Bencic plays with Bertens, who took over Osaka, with the match being given by 50-50 books

 

[zorian]

Bencic beat Bertens, who dropped out at the start of the 2 set (7-5 and 1-0 in the second) and went to the semifinals (the 15 outsider!) Logically the lay will be too low for the Saturday semifinals. Look .....
If Pliskova passes tomorrow the success will be 100% since all three of my choices will be in the semifinals. And that's where the bargains start

 

[zorian]

For the story, Barty also won Kvitova (6-4 6-2) so Barty and Bencic are in the semi-finals of this group. And Ostapenko on the other and wait for the fourth.

PS As soon as Stephen won De Minaur 2-0 (6-3 6-4)

 

[zorian]

And Pliskova in the semifinals and forecasts wrote 3 / 3
He just won Simona Halep with 2-1 (6-0 2-6 6-4) and got the last ticket to the semifinals.
In the other match of the day, Kenin fought against Svitolina, after Andreescu's departure, and Ukraine managed to win 3 (7-5 7-6).
In the evening I will see set returns and spare parts returns and move accordingly. I will probably keep the Ukrainian to the end, I don't know yet. Or I'll sell all three tonight. Seeing and doing.

 

[zorian]

I'm definitely laying the groundwork for Bencic with the obligation to be on 6.60 (from 15.0 played back)
So from that we get an 124% profit on the amount played

 

[zorian]

I keep Svitolina, who also paid me last year for winning the cup in this tournament and I expect 10 to double the stakes, although we'll see them again in the final ...

 

[zorian]

And the most difficult decision falls on my beloved Pliskova. The layout for the Czech Republic right now is on 7,00 and definitely a winner. But I'm going to risk it a bit differently.
I play double the amount of the original backing in the Czech Republic in tomorrow's semifinal with Barty. With 2,58 the obligation if I lose. With Australia's win I leave with 97% of my initial money wagered on Pliskova. If the Czech wins, I have 40% of my supposed return to manage in the final ...

 

[zorian]

Bencic took the 1 set with 7-5 and now loses 4-2 to the 2 set but seems to have a problem and hurts her leg. I don't know if he'll be able to finish the match. However, if he wins, it will be a big blow to Svitolina

 

[zorian]

Only Ukraine understands nothing. Monfils has done it and is going to @ @ imitating
