Petra Kvitova Preview – Kvitova to continue French Open progress
With pre-tournament favourite Simona Haelp having fallen by the wayside at Roland Garros this season, Petra Kvitova must see a big opportunity ahead o f her.
She will face Germany’s Laura Siegemeund in the quarter finals of the Grand Slam on Wednesday.
Kvitivoa has made very steady progress through the tournament, not yet having dropped a single set.
In the fourth round on Monday, Kvitiova breezed past Shaui Zhang to move through to the quarter finals for just the second time in her career at the French Open.
The best finish that the Czech player ever had at the tournament was a semi final effort in 2012.
So she will be delighted with this progress and she was very emotional after her fourth round win actually.
She is a long 3/10 odds-on favorite for the win in this one, but as she is expected to make light work of this, there is better value at 4/5 for a Kvitova -4.5 handicap* (odds taken 03:12 GMT Tuesday, 6th October).
This will be just the second meeting between the two players and Kvitova claimed the win in that match.
That one previous meeting did happen in a Grand Slam setting as it was back at the 2015 US OPpen.
Kvitova only dropped two games on road to an easy first-round victory then.
A Kvitova 6-1 first set scoreline can be snapped up at a 7/1 option* (odds taken 03:12 GMT Tuesday, 6th October).
Laura Siegemund Preview – Siegemund with a big task ahead
Laura Siegemend will be hoping that the most endearing moment of this tournament is not her having a mid-match in her fourth round matches.
During a break she grabbed a meal from her coach and smacked while she waited for her opponent to recover from an injury break.
Ayway, the German is a big 11/4 underdog for this contest on Wednesday* (odds taken 03:12 GMT Tuesday, 6th October).
It was a victory over Paula Badosa in the fourth round that set her up with this big clash with Kvitova, an easy win it was too.
In the second and third rounds she needed three sets to see off Julia Goerges and then 13th seed Petra MArtic respectively.
So this is the deepest that she has been at any Grand Slam in her career.
Recently she was a first round loser at the US Open. Earlier this year bowed out in the second round of the Australian Open.

Laura Siegemund didn’t even take part in the singles at the Italian Open to get some clay warm-up action going, adding the surprise of this run from her.
The chance of Siegemund pulling out a win in this one is pretty slim according to the bookmakers.
So slim, that there is just no reason to go looking elsewhere in tennis betting to back her, other than the outright.
Getting even a set on the board is going to be such a big ask for here and Siegemund +1.5 handicap is at 10/11* (odds taken 03:12 GMT Tuesday, 6th October).
We just don’t see where the win is coming from at all.
Petra Kvitova vs Laura Siegemund Betting Advice
A win for Petra Kvitova should be forthcoming in this one and obviously there’s not a point looking at the match outright.
But the -4.5 games handicap on her is a perfect fit we feel at 4/5 odds, because she should be able to romp this* (odds taken 03:12 GMT Tuesday, 6th October).
Kvitova hasn’t been this deep in the French Open for a while. But would you expect her to handle the situation a lot more composed than Siegemund.

This may well be over in an hour, so it’s a comfortable win for Kvitova for us.
