Tennis WTA Guadalajara 2nd round – Osorio will fail again before the quarterfinals

Starting capital: 15,000 euros, currently: 8,450.33 euros

After Aalborg’s safe 38-31 win against Nantes, the bankroll continued to grow.

There is an interesting match scheduled for late evening in Guadalajara. The Russian Kudermetova will play against the Colombian Osorio for a place in the quarter-finals.

23:30 Veronika Kudermetova – Camila Osorio

My tip: Veronika Kudermetova odds 1.90 for 650.33 Euro

The match is almost 50-50 with some bookmakers, and with others Veronika Kudermetova is a slight favorite. Kudermetova won her first match in 2.5 months in the first round against the world number 66 with a comfortable 6-3 and 6-2. Before that, she was eliminated 4 times in the first round, but all of them against male opponents who were ranked higher than her in the world rankings. There she is number 42, where 2 years ago she was ranked 9th in the world. Injuries and self-confidence put an end to her rise. With 13-19 wins, including 8-8 on hard court, the year has not been hers so far. But she has had a lot of bad luck in draws, and her current ranking shows that she is a better player. She hits very hard and played strongly in the opening win in Mexico. That’s why I see value in her.

Her opponent today in Osorio, the world number 80, feels very comfortable in sunny conditions and she has performed reasonably well in Mexico before. Just never at WTA 250 level, like the strong tournament here. She has never reached a quarter-final there and has been eliminated in the round of 16 11 times in such a strong tournament. This will not change today. Her serve is not as strong and Osorio is a typical clay court player who keeps the ball in play well but does not have the big weapons as is the case with Kudermetova, who has a good forehand and can also apply more pressure with her backhand. On hard court she has also never been able to beat a player as strong as Kudermetova.

I think the bookmakers are blinded by the Russian’s poor form. In any case, I see a lot of value in the odds.
