2016 WTA Finals Tuesday tips

The end of season WTA Finals moves on to its second group games on Tuesday, with women’s tennis world number one Angelique Kerber set for an intriguing encounter with top Romanian export Simona Halep. Both are joint 11/4 favourites with Coral to win this event.

Also in action in Singapore are America’s number two Madison Keys and late qualifier Dominika Cibulkova from Slovakia, though neither are fancied to progress from this pool.

With the big Red Group showdown and tasty Kerber v Halep odds in prospect, what are our top 2016 WTA Finals Tuesday tips and day 3 bets? Here’s what our tennis experts think…

Crazy Kerber v Halep odds

There is no splitting Germany’s reigning Australian and US Open champion Kerber and consistent WTA Tour performer Halep in the outright match betting at 10/11 apiece.

Dual Grand Slam winner Kerber may be 4-3 down on the overall head-to-head with the Romanian, and 4-1 from previous hard court meetings, but her improvement against Halep this year is remarkable.

From four fixtures across three surfaces, Kerber leads 3-1 and she’s also taken the second set in each of the last five encounters, so siding with her at 5/6 makes sense here.
