Sara Sorribes Tormo vs Clara Burel Best Bet: Tuesday, May 30th

Slight profit on the two bets for our women’s piece on Monday. Cannot be too upset, as we had it as a much closer match than the odds implied because of Wang’s competency on clay and that’s how it turned out. That’s a little results-oriented, but the handicap playing out as hoped is a good sign.

Onto Tuesday, where we find a very enticing bet, based heavily in the stylistic matchup. Let’s delve into the match between Sara Sorribes Tormo and Clara Burel.

Sara Sorribes Tormo vs Clara Burel Preview

May 30th, 13:30 (UK Time)

After a nice week on home soil in Strasbourg, Burel was rewarded with an incredibly tough draw on slow clay courts in Sorribes Tormo.

Despite fairly strong performances in the Alsace region of France, the 22-year-old still doesn’t possess the level of consistency or point construction that one likely needs to trouble someone like the wily Spanish veteran.

Sorribes Tormo is relentless in her ball-making abilities, moves around the court efficiently and when in trouble has a strong defensive slice that buys her time to recover to the centre of the court and position herself for the next shot.

Typically it takes someone with excellent variety, big power with control, or both.

Burel doesn’t have either. Her hitting isn’t nearly big enough just yet to penetrate the Sorribes Tormo defences, and it’s the inconsistency in her game that has held her back from fulfilling her potential the last few years.

We saw her play a very similar defensive type player in Camila Osorio on clay just a few weeks ago and lose in straight sets, as the Colombian was able to wait out unforced errors and play strong, side-to-side tennis.

Of her other losses this clay season, Burel has lost more often in lopsided fashion than in a close contest as well.

Playing against relatively erratic hitters that don’t have overwhelming power to hit through both her defences and the surface is the veteran’s sweet spot.

It’s been nice to see Burel finding form of late, especially since she’s had a tough time since being a fairly well-known prospect the last few years, but this up there with one of the worst matchups she could’ve drawn in the opening round.

I have Sorribes Tormo as a 5-game to 5.5-game favourite. To get this at an even four games is well worth a large wager for me.
