Aryna Sabalenka Preview – Sabalenka on the prowl
Coming into the action at WTA Linz, Aryna Sabelnka was always going to be a main contender for the title.
She is the top seed at the event and has breezed through her first couple of matches so far.
She opened with a straight sets win over Jasmine Paolini. Then she made rapid work of beating Stefanie Voegele in the second round.
The powerful Sabalenka dropped just three games in that second round set and we expect her to march on.
In tennis betting, a Sabalenka 2-0 set betting option is at 4/6 which looks a straight forward punt* (odds taken 22:12 GMT on Thursday, 12th November).
Sabelnaka has met Oceane Dodin once before and that was this year’s US Open, so it was a recent meeting.
Sabalenka took the match in straight sets after winning the opening set on a tight tie breaker.
It was a fairly tight match all the way to be fair to the underdog Dodin.
A Dodin +5.5 Games Handicap is at 7/10* (odds taken 22:12 GMT on Thursday, 12th November) for this rematch.
Oceane Dodin Preview – Can French player turn the tables on Sabalenka?
This has been a good run in Austria for Ocean Dodin who is currently ranked at 115th in the world.
That’s a long way from Sabelaka, who is just outside of the top ten.
So Dodin is going to have to defy some massive underdog odds here at 3/1 for a quarter final success* (odds taken 22:12 GMT on Thursday, 12th November).
Ahead of this tournament, Dodin held a W25 L12 record for the season, which actually is comparable to that of Sablenka’s record.
But Dodin is usually knocking around in lower ranked tournaments on the ITF.
She has barely made an impact up at the Tour level and we do expect her to fall from the tournament here.
The French player has lost her last three matches in the main draw of WTA Tour events (prior to Linz).

Oceane Dodin not to win a set is at 8/13, just to highlight the task ahead of her on Friday* (odds taken 22:12 GMT on Thursday, 12th November).
The only positive that we can see for Dodin is that she is in good form.
That is because at the end of October she picked up the title in an ITF event in France on the hard surface.
But even in that lower-tiered tournament, she dropped a set in three of her five matches along the way.

Sablenka is a very powerful hitter of the ball and she is taking on a player who is usually involved in lower-retired events.
