Australian Open: Women’s Quarter Finals Preview
Let’s check out the best Australian Open Women’s Quarter Finals betting tips. Once again the women’s draw at a Grand Slam looks wide open with over half of the world’s top 10 players having been eliminated from the draw. With the likes of Angelique Kerber, Caroline Wozniacki and Sloane Stephens having been knocked out in week 1, there are real opportunities for players to make their breakthrough at Grand Slam level. With world number 1 Simona Halep falling to Serena Williams in an all-time classic match in the round of 16 – the standard in Melbourne looks to be at an all-time high and the remaining 8 players will need to be at their best to lift the trophy.
Here are our Australian Open Last 8 predictions:
Match Betting:
Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova vs Danielle Collins
Odds:
Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova – 8/13 (Coral)
Danielle Collins – 13/10 (Bet365)
Two unseeded women have the chance of a lifetime as they face off in the last 8 in Melbourne. Danielle Collins dispatched of Angelique Kerber in emphatic fashion in round 4 and the American looks to be a real prospect for the future. Whilst Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova has knocked out Monica Puig, Kiki Bertens and Sloane Stephens to reach her maiden Grand Slam semi-final. Both women will see this as a real opportunity to make a name for themselves.
Head to Head
This is the first meeting between these women and it promises to be an absolute classic.
Top Match Bet
With so much at stake, picking a winner here could be a tough shout but expect the game to go all the way down to the wire.
Our Tip: 3 Sets to be played in the match – 11/8 with Unibet.
Match Betting:
Petra Kvitova vs Ashleigh Barty
Odds:
Petra Kvitova – 4/7 (888sport)
Ashleigh Barty – 11/8 (MansionBet)
Two time Grand Slam winner Petra Kvitova will be eying up her first Australian Open title as she takes on home favourite Ashleigh Barty in what could be the match of the round. Kvitova has recovered well from her injuries sustained in 2016 and is back on track in the world’s top 10 players. Ashleigh Barty carries the hopes of the nation and looks to have the game and the mindset to compete at the very highest level.
Head to Head
This is the 4th meeting between the players – with Kvitova holding an impressive 3-0 record over Barty. Their last meeting came in the final in Sydney earlier this season which Kvitova won in three tight sets.
Top Match Bet
This is a real opportunity for both women and it could well go all the way to three sets with Kvitova’s top-level experience may be the defining factor.
Our Tip: Kvitova to win the match 2 sets to 1 – 3/1 with Royal Panda.
Match Betting:
Naomi Osaka vs Elina Svitolina
Odds:
Naomi Osaka – 4/6 (William Hill)
Elina Svitolina – 13/10 (Bet-at-Home)
Two established giants of the women’s game face off in what should be a classic battle in Melbourne. Naomi Osaka is the defending US Open Champion and looks full of confidence whilst Elina Svitolina has long looked a potential Grand Slam champion, without necessarily getting over the line. This should be an epic encounter between two of the hardest hitters in the women’s game today.
Head to Head
This will be the 6th meeting between the two players with Elina Svitolina leading the head to head 3:2. The last match between the players was at the Miami Masters last season which Svitolina won 6-4, 6-2.
Top Match Bet
Both women will be giving it their all and it should be a match that goes all the way down to the wire.
Our Tip: 3 Sets to be played in the match – 5/4 with Coral.
Match Betting
Serena Williams vs Karolina Pliskova
Odds:
Serena Williams – 1/3 (TonyBet)
Karolina Pliskova – 12/5 (Ladbrokes)
The top quarter of the draw was arguably the most congested and only two of the biggest names in women’s tennis remain. Serena Williams is chasing her 8th Australian Open title and her win over Simona Halep last time out suggested she’s more than ready to go all the way here. Former world number 1 Karolina Pliskova is still chasing her maiden Grand Slam title and despite no form to speak of in the Australian Open build-up, she looks in a strong position to push Serena all the way here.
Head to Head
This will be the 4th meeting between these two players with Serena leading the head to head 2:1 – with two of their previous meetings coming at the quarter-final stages of a Grand Slam.
Top Match Bet
This will be yet another Australian Open classic between two of the biggest names in the game and despite Pliskova’s many threats, there looks to be no stopping Serena here.
Our Tip: Williams to win the match 2 sets to 1 – 11/4 with Bet365.
