WTA Finals White Group, matchday three

• Singapore Indoor Stadium, Singapore
• Muguruza match with Kvitova on court first
• Followed by Kerber clash against Safarova

Last chance for Kvitova

Two-time Wimbledon chance Petra Kvitova must win her first-ever fixture against WTA Finals second seed Garbine Muguruza, or the Czech Republic number one will bow out of the end of season tournament in Singapore.

Germany’s Angelique Kerber, meanwhile, can book her place in the semi-finals by beating another Czech player in Lucie Safarova, as the White Group comes to a conclusion.

Garbine Muguruza v Petra Kvitova

Venezuelan-born Muguruza made this year’s Wimbledon final, and carried that fine form over to the hard court part of the tennis season as straight sets victories over Kerber and then Kvitova’s compatriot Safarova show.

Representing Spain, Muguruza is Coral’s odds-on 1/2 match favourite to dump 13/8 chance Kvitova out of the competition. With no previous head-to-heads to go on, it’s only current form that informs these prices.
