16:00 U.K - Gauff (1.50) vs Serastova (3.0)
Serastova has won 3 out of 3 head to head matches against Gauff with two of those matches played out this year.
All three matches ended in 3 sets which shows a potentially tighter match and two of those matches Gauff took the first set and so a further hike in price on the outsider would not be of any particular surprise, and on that basis Gauff would be worth a cheeky lay for a trade if her price drops into 1.10 - 1.15 after the first set.
Rankings are 24 - 64 respectively and more recent form for Serastova is not great but Gauff has also lost her last two matches which may level this particular playing field today.
This could make a good match for trading and Serastova stands a decent chance at her price.
This could produce a few nice price swings on route to finding a winner and 3 sets again or two tighter sets are a possibility if both are up for the match.

16:00 - U.K - S. Zhang (2.36) vs Konta (1.73)
Superb H2H record for Konta winning 6 out of 7 matches and all but one of those in straight sets with the last six H2H's being in straight sets.
Hard court matches offer 4 out of 5 of those wins and represents a good opportunity for her to take another win today with nice recent form for the favourite.
Recent form includes a two set win in the grass final over at Nottingham against today's opponent and that momentum could carry forward today.
Rankings are close at 51 vs 41 but general form results favour Konta.
Bigger prices on the Konta would of course be nicer and Zhang is more than capable considering she too got to that final, but 1.73 isn't a bad starting price on the exchanges considering the general run of form.

Please note that start times may vary and many thanks for the thumbs up on other posts

Tennis Update:

Gauff was far too quick off the mark and double broke Sevastova in the first set and touched her ideal lay price quite early and a better second set for Sevastova saw Gauff broken early from a low of 1.11 up to 1.45 which offered a great trading opportunity of upwards of 200% across the board.
Sevastova touched highs of 11.0 into around 3.20 but was broken to love at G5 and down a break by G9 and Gauff served out the match in G10.
The match followed the pattern of Gauff winning the first set and the trading opportunity based on a typical break scenario from low numbers paid as much as attempting the outright win on the outsider which of course didn't happen in the end but was negated without penalty as soon as you hit the hedge button.

Zhang played well in her match and secured the first set which puts much bigger prices on Konta of 3.50 plus and then Zhang retired in S2 being 5 games to 2 down which gave Konta the automatic match win having already completed the first set.
Another day retirements can work against you so you take those dividends whenever you can get them and try not to feel too guilty in the meantime.
