πΎ Cincinnati WTA-1000
πΊπ¦ Marta Kostyuk β πΊπΈ Sloane Stephens
π Handicap Stephens by games (+6.5)
π Odds 1.60
πΊπΈ Stephens made a good start in Cincinnati: first she passed Sinia Kraus 7:5, 6:3, and then sensationally dealt with 24th seed Anastasia Potapova 6:2, 6:4. The American confidently holds her serve and clearly did not come here just to participate.
πΊπ¦ Kostyuk is the favorite due to her ranking and this year’s form, but in the second round she almost gave the match to Kenin, snatching a victory 4:6, 6:3, 7:5. After such results, Stephens is quite capable of imposing a fight and staying within the handicap. Bet: handicap Sloane Stephens (+6.5).
