J Groth v A Kudryavtseva, Guangzhou Final

Both girls have powered through to the final. Groth is now guaranteed a place in the top 50 rankings on Monday. She demolished Edina Gallovits this morning with the loss of just 10 service points throughout the match. She is in-form and dangerous against anyone. Alla has also been playing well and cruised through against Zhang of China, which was a suprising result to me. The Russian though needs to watch her second weak serve which can give her trouble. She has the shots to make it difficult for the Aussie-Serb to dominate. Unforced errors with be a major contributing factor in this match. head to head they are 1-1, with Kudryavsteva thumping Groth 6-2 6-0 in Indian Wells a few seasons ago. Groth is now a different player and should win this match, though Kudryatseva could nick a set.

PREDICTION: Groth to win @ 1.25 at bet365.
Value bets are Groth to win 2-0 @ 1.72
or Groth to win 2-1 @ odds of 3.25
