Caroline Wozniacki and the Russian Ekaterina Makarova are going to meet on the 22nd of September, in Seoul. The former WTA leader, the Danish Caroline Wozniacki is crossing a descending path in her career. Her performances in 2012 were not too satisfying compared to the ones from the previous years. Moreover, after US Open she had also lost her position in the WTA top 10, and now she is on the 11th position.
On the other hand,the strong Russian, Ekaterina Makarova achieved a series of excellent results this year, and one of them was the elimination of Serena Williams. The current position of Ekaterina in the WTA ranking is 28. However, even if she proved to be extremely skilled, she is not a constant tennis player, and constancy is a must in tennis.
Judging by the head to head series, Caroline Wozniacki is a categorical winner. She defeated Ekaterina in all their 4 previous meetings, and the scores revealed that this wasn’t a difficult job for Wozniacki. They met in Rome on clay, and the score of the match was 6-3, 6-4, in Eastbourne on grass (6-3, 6-2), in Indian Wells on hard surface (6-2, 6-0) and in New Haven, also on hard surface (6-3, 6-3). As you might see, until now, Ekaterina hasn’t won any set against Wozniacki.
Even if I think that the Russian is going to do a good job at Seoul, I’m going to place a bet on Caroline Wozniacki’s victory. I bet 5 units at 1.31. The odds I used are from William Hill.
