Pick 7: Aliaksandra Sasnovic FIRST SET ML  -150


Sasnovic is coming to Linz with some significant performances in her bag during the Indian Wells tournament like beating Raducanu and Halep. She has played in Fed Cup recently and lost in 3 to Mertens and Tomjanovic despite being the better player than her opponents but she has yielded to the pressure of playing for her country. 

Aliaksandra is going to play for her ranking now. I liked her serve and movement during Fed Cup matches but her mental and endurance for closing out matches are still two major problems for her.

Her opponent Fiona Ferro has been dealing with injuries throughout the year. She couldn`t play regularly on the tour and her tennis is regressing lately therefore. Losing to wn 355 Francoise Abanda is consisting of a new low for Fiona. Ferro is a clay player originally and Sasnovic likes playing indoors. But if Ferro believes herself, she can play on any surface! but is she believing herself atm? I highly doubt!

I believe that Sasnovic will start this match very strong and Ferro passive. Because both has to win, things might get complicated as the match proceeds. So set 1 for Sasnovic is a good bet for me!
