Belinda Bencic – Liudmila Samsonova
The Abu Dhabi final will be contested between Bencic and Samsonova, two excellent players that have been really strong all week long. Bencic had a simpler week as her wins came with far less hassle than those of Samsonova who required quite a bit of effort.
Bencic plays really strong tennis in Abu Dhabi because the surface fits her style pretty well. She’s made a career out of beating players like Samsonova who likes to attack and the matchup favours her significantly. It will be tough for the Russian to counter her here but she’s done it in the past.
They played three times and Samsonova won every time which is quite incredible when you consider how strong Bencic is.
I have no doubt that it will be a competitive match and that’s why we advise the over on the total. I’d personally lean more towards Bencic as the winner though.
Tip: Over 21.5 games in the match: 5/6 (Click Here to Bet with bet365)
Jannik Sinner v Maxime Cressy
Jannik Sinner has been on fire this week in Montpellier as the Italian has been smashing players from the start of the week. There are not many players that have a heavier game than Sinner as he hits the ball incredibly hard. When he’s playing his best the Italian is hard to stop.
Cressy could not do it but better players couldn’t either. He might though because the American has been having a crazy week. He’s been dominant in both singles and doubles and looks almost unbeatable right now. He defeated Holger Rune in a match where the Danish star didn’t see one single break point.
The serve is absolutely unbreakable with the American patiently waiting for his chances. It’s a tough task for him because Sinner will certainly find some angles and moments in their matchup. I do expect him to win in the end because he’s 7-1 in Finals but it will be tough.
Cressy could take a set but he could also keep this in two tiebreaks. I could see that happening so back the over. That’s solid value.

Anastasia Potapova v Petra Martic
Potapova has been looking really strong this week but it’s been a long time coming. She’s always had tremendous potential to do great things because her game is so good when it’s working. Attacking and very precise, the Russian can smash even the best ones on her day.
She’s had some up and downs this week but for the most part, she was able to overcome them. It’s not something that has been common for her in the past and that might signal her readiness to win the trophy. Martic has looked sharp as well but her game isn’t as heavy as that of her opponent.
It’s 1-1 so far between them but the way POtapova has been playing it’s hard to see her not winning this one. I could see it going three because it’s a final and Martic is very experienced but getting the win will be tough for the Croatian.
I do think she can do it but I’ll side with Potapova in this one.
Tip: Potapova to win in three sets: 3/1 (Click Here to Bet with bet365)
