WTA Finals Day 3 Tennis Picks 2018 (October 23rd)

The WTA Finals has seen four matches played to open the Group Stage and all four of those matches have been won by the underdog.

On Tuesday we move onto the second round robin of matches in the Red Group with the two winners and two losing players from Sunday's opening matches playing one another.

It means we are almost certainly going to get at least one Semi Finalist confirmed, while the player with two losses on their record are going to find it very difficult to progress. The first match up on Tuesday is the two losing players from Sunday and that looks a tough match to call with Petra Kvitova holding the mental edge from the head to head with Caroline Wozniacki.

However my feeling remains the conditions in Singapore will suit Wozniacki more than Kvitova, although I was also convinced she would have been set as the underdog rather than the healthy favourite.


The second match is where my selection will come from on Tuesday- Elina Svitolina and Karolina Pliskova both upset the odds with their wins on Sunday and I think the underdog could win the match which is almost a pick 'em contest.

Svitolina has won the last two matches between the players and I think the court speed will be in her favour here barring a huge serving day from Pliskova.

There are also some doubts about Pliskova's health as she played with a strong strapping in her win over Wozniacki, a match she had dominated.

However I think Svitolina is going to edge this match and I will back her as the underdog to do that.
