2016 WTA Finals Thursday tips

The Red Group comes to a conclusion on day five of the WTA Finals in Singapore with women’s tennis world number one Angelique Kerber in pole position to top the pool.

America’s Madison Keys stands between the dual hard court Grand Slam champion and a perfect three wins, but the German has a brilliant record against this opponent.

Simona Halep remains a consistent WTA Tour performer, and should feel confident of joining Kerber in the semi-finals as she faces winless Dominika Cibulkova.

Kerber v Keys odds favour German

Eyes are immediately drawn to the fact Kerber has won all four previous hard surface clashes with Keys in straight sets, including in the semi-final of the Olympics women’s singles in Rio de Janeiro earlier this season.

That makes the 6/4 available among Kerber v Keys odds for the Australian and US Open winner to record another 2-0 result sweet indeed.
