Well, a very interesting coincidence as these two players have played last season their first game on hard against each other, then Sevastova has won easy with 6-1 6-2. This will going to be Sevastova's first game on hard of this season and speaking about the surface I have to mentionate that Anastasija can play some great tennis on hard. I'm really surprised of these odds but it seems that Petra Kvitova's great results and big surprises has all the influence in this one.
Petra Kvitova defeated Cirstea, Zheng, Azarenka and Wozniacki in a row at Wimbledon, a really impressive run from her side but have to mentionate that all these opponents have not been in their best form, all of them purely didn't played thier tennis then. Only speaking about the most difficult ones Azarenka and Wozniacki, both have been injured in the period of Wimbledon.
Anyway there are no doubts that Kvitova is a player with a quite good potential, she is a left-handed and that also give her some advantages but she still lacks so many aspects in the game and the experience as well. Sevastova is just more talented and more experienced player than Kvitova, she is just one class over Kvitova who is purely overrated at the moment because all those surprises from Wimbledon.
All in all, IMO here we have just some great value as this is a perfect moment becasue Kvitova is just clear overrated. Good Luck! Posted on Jul-27-2010 at 10:50 CET |
