Sorribes Tormo Makes it Six in a Row
Such has been Sorribes Tormo’s form in the last couple of weeks that despite taking on a player ranked 27th places ahead of her, she had gone in as a favourite.
And surely enough, Sorribes Tormo lived up to those 8/11 winning odds (with bet365) in what turned out to be a tough match but one that finished off in two sets.
Needed two hours and 15 minutes, Sorribes Tormo was at the receiving end of six breaks of serves in the entire match – normally enough to lose a player a two-set match. However, it was that kind of a day in which breaks of serves were dime a dozen and the Spaniard managed to retaliate back with eight of her own.
Essentially 14 of the 22 games in the match were won on breaks of serves.
Sorribes Tormo will now aim to win her seventh match in a row after having entered this tournament on the back of a title win in Cleveland last week. She is 4/7 (with bet365) to make the third round here for the second time in her career.

Wang Continues Good Run
A title winner in a hardcourt ITF event earlier this month, Wang managed to make it to the quarterfinal of the Cleveland Open last week. And that was enough to propel her ranking to 53rd in the world – her career-best.
Now, Wang is sitting on the cusp of a top 50 ranking with the live ranking showing she has already edged ahead to 48th at the moment with her first round win here. She could still fall back a couple of spots but there is a good chance she will begin the next ranking release at a new career-best.
And that has been possible thanks to a straight-set win in the first round here against Katie Volynets.
The Chinese player was on court for an hour and 12 minutes before winning 6-3, 6-4 to reach round two at the Open for the first time in her career.
She now faces an opponent who could overtake her in the live rankings with a win. Wang will need to be at her best to overturn Sorribes Tormo’s excellent form and the 6/4 (bet365) odds against her.
Sorribes Tormo v Wang Prediction and Tip
While Sorribes Tormo is the favourite here, this could be too close to call with Wang expected to win at least a set.
Tips:
- Moderate Risk Tip: Over 21.5 games in the match: 5/6 (with bet365)
