The Overrule: WTA Miami

By Sports Magician

Monday March 29th

The Overrule focuses on the women's event for Monday's action in Miami as Svetlana Kuznetsova and Yanina Wickmayer look set the claim victories that will ensure a meeting between the two in the last eight. Kuznetsova, number one seed in Miami, faces Marion Bartoli who has not been able to deal with the Russian’s kick serve in their only two meetings. Granted, their last match was four years ago, but Kuznetsova still brings the same qualities to the court while Bartoli, for all her persistence, still possesses the same deficiencies. Wickmayer was an each-way selection by The Overrule at the start of the tournament and she should breeze past 20 year old Swiss Timea Bacsinsky. 54th ranked Bascinsky had only won 1 match in 2010 (excluding qualifiers) heading into Miami, and her victories this past week broke a six match losing streak she has been on in main draw matches this season. Bacsinsky scored an impressive victory over Na Li in a third set breaker earlier in the tournament but will find life much tougher against the consistent and mentally tough Belgian.

PICK: 4*(DOUBLE) SVETLANA KUZNETSOVA BEAT MARION BARTOLI (1.50) & YANINA WICKMAYER BEAT TIMEA BASCINSKY (1.36) @ 2.04 (BOYLESPORTS)
