Sorana Cirstea – Stats and Form

Sorana Cirstea comes into this match ranked 44th in the WTA rankings and she was able to defeat all her opponents so far at the China Open in two sets. She played in two tournaments since the US Open, lost in the Round of 32 at Wuhan against Qiang Wang and against Luksika Kumkhum at Seoul in the QF, but overall she had some nice streaks as of late. We need to mention in our Beijing WTA betting tips that she usually doesn't get very far in majors and has issues finding the lines when the pressure is high.

Carola Pliskova – Stats and Form

Pliskova comes into the match not just as one of the big favourites to win this encounter – as per the latest China Open predictions, but as a very powerful favourite for victory in the tournament. Ranked fourth in the world, there is no doubt that she went past Petkovic and Navarro smoothly. Although she lost against Angelique Kerber very early in the competition at Tokyo, she reached the Quarter Finals at the US Open - a decent enough feat - and the QF at Wuhan.

Beijing WTA Betting Tips

Cirstea and Pliskova have met each other just once in 2014, at the Pattaya City tournament. The match needed three sets to be decided back then, but Pliskova's recent increased form and superb WTA ranking give her an expected edge against Cirstea. 10Bet offers great Beijing WTA odds for an outright victory of Pliskova and we see the value here. Pliskova is bookies' favourite and she's been able to achieve many back-to-back victories, being a strong returner. Her recent form at Tokyo, Wuhan and the US Open show that it's a wise choice to go for an outright win here.

Cirstea will try to retaliate, of course, but if we look at the stats again we can see that these two players are playing in different leagues. Pliskova is a WTA Top 5 player with outstanding returns and who played in a dozen tournaments just in the two months alone. Looking at how Pliskova ended her recent matches, a fact valid for Cirstea as well, we can see that they both tend to finish in just two sets and we simply need to mention this in our China Open women predictions. We are going one step further and going for a fixed set score. WTA tennis odds are great for those who love higher risk but higher returns.
