Second round action at the French Open begins on Wednesday and there are plenty of juicy matchups to look forward to. Our tennis expert, Ace, has his sights set on one of the early matches where he’s identified some value in the games handicap market.
Wednesday May 31st, 7pm AEST
As much as I would love to see the Australian qualifier Storm Hunter continue her impressive run here at Roland Garros, I do have some genuine concerns about the match-up for her against Elina Svitolina.
We had a good result on Svitolina earlier in the tournament as she comprehensively defeated Martina Trevisan. It backed up her impressive week last week, as she builds form and fitness on her return to the tour after having a baby. My fear for Sanders looking at this match-up is I’m not entirely sure where, outside of her net game, she holds the advantage in this match-up.
I’m comfortable with how Svitolina is covering the court and she has dusted off the cobwebs in her return to date. The -4.5 game handicap appeals.
