Karolina Pliskova v Isabella Shinikova Head to Head

Pliskova Relieved after US Open Showing
The US Open Series was way kinder to Pliskova than the rest of the season had been and it was down to her performances in two of those tournaments.
At Toronto, Pliskova overcame Amanda Anisimova and Maria Sakkari to make it to the semifinal before going down to Beatriz Haddad Maia.
And this was followed by a quarterfinal appearance at the US Open for the Czech where she recorded wins over Belinda Bencic and Victoria Azarenka. Aryna Sabalenka finally took her out in the last eight.
Other than these two performances, Pliskova’s season had seen her win just 11 of the 24 matches she participated in. And that has seen her ranking dip to 20th in the world, and at 26th in the Race to the Finals list.
A strong showing is what she would like as she looks to finish the season on a high.

Shinikova Stuns Nara in Qualifiers
While Shinikova’s opening qualifying win at this tournament against Desirae Krawczyk was par for the course, she had gone into the second qualifier against Kuru Nara at 11/5 odds to take her Japanese opponent down.
And that’s exactly what she did against the home player, despite losing the opening set 6-0!
Shinikova won in bizarre fashion, 0-6, 7-5, 6-0 to seal her first ever main draw berth in a WTA tournament for the season.
The 214th-ranked Shinikova will know she has her task cut out now though, taking on a player ranked 20th in the world. And while Pliskova’s form has been of some concern, Shinikova will have to have a lot going her way to get past the former world number one.
Pliskova v Shinikova Prediction and Tip
Pliskova is 1/25 to scoop this but we could also look at the games handicap which allows us a win even with a scoreline like 6-3, 6-2. Backing Shinikova to put up that kind of a fight.
Tip: Games Handicap Shinikova +7.5: 8/13 (Click Here to Bet with bet365)
