US Open WTA Betting Tips: Kaia Kanepi vs Madison Keys: Two Unexpected Quarterfinalists

Westley Ott

Madison Keys is 16th on WTA list while Kaia Kanepi is 418th. The US Open betting world forgets to mention that Kanepi was in top 30 once and was pretty decent even though she didn't do something special or outstanding. While Kanepi is a solid heavy hitter, Keys has been very consistent lately and we can actually see her going to the Finals of the 2017 US Open this year. However, both players are unexpected names in the quarter-finals, with big names such as Sharapova or Halep being out already. Let's see our betting tips for tennis.

The competition in the US Open 2017 has increased with the tournament heading into the quarter-final stages. There is an increasing number of US Open women predictions which will focus on the key quarter-final clash between Kaia Kanepi and Madison Keys. Keys has been able to reach the quarter-finals after beating Elina Svitolina 7-6 (2), 1-6, 6-4. Kanepi has been able to achieve a more comfortable 6-4, 6-4 win over Darya Kasatkina in the fourth round.

Kaia Kanepi – Stats & Current Form

Kanepi comes into the game after having achieved a win over Kasatkina in straight sets. The match required only 20 games in order to decide on the outcome. She was able to achieve success in 60% of the first serves, and a reasonable 25% success rate when it came to the second serves. Now, Kanepi is being touted as one of the favourites for the tournament, according to the US Open WTA betting tips. The last seven matches on a hard court for Kanepi have ended in a victory. One of her biggest disadvantages happens to be her poor record in the quarter-finals, as she has been beaten in all of her games at this stage of the Grand Slam.

Madison Keys – Stats & Current Form

The recent match against Svitolina went into three sets, as Keys had to negotiate 29 games in order to reach the quarter-finals of the US Open. Even then, US Open betting tips regard her as a potential favourite coming into the latter stages of the competition. She is likely to be drained of energy after having been involved in two energy sapping games. There have been signs of fatigue in the last match. One of the biggest problems with her game has been making the unforced errors. Keys has always been extremely strong when it comes to shot power but tends to struggle with accuracy when tired.

US Open Betting Tips for September 7

Keys is looking to win her first Grand Slam title and our US Open predictions regard her as a strong favourite for the event. She has not been in a Grand Slam semi-final in the last two years, and the recent lengthy matches to reach the quarter-finals will have taken their toll. She has been able to win 10 out of recent 11 games on a hard court. Keys can be backed @ 1/4 for a win in the latest US Open WTA odds at Betway, which offers the best women's tennis odds and also runs a special promotion for the US Open.

Kanepi comes into the event on the back of a comfortable passage in the initial rounds of the competition, but that happened only because she didn't face tough rivals. Speaking of US Open betting odds, the Set Betting market looks very interesting at Betway, and Madison Keys 2-1 @ 3/1 looks to be the most attractive option. Kanepi will face tough opposition and she will probably take a set, but our bet remains on Keys.
