THE PREDICTION
World number six Maria Sakkari grabbed a possibly season-changing result against 14th-seed Danielle Collins on Thursday night, coming back from a set down to show some of much-missed grit. The 27-year-old should look a totally different prospect against Veronika Kudermetova on Friday evening but caution is still advisable in this match, which should be kept well away from any accumulators. 25-year-old Veronika Kudermetova is yet to drop a set this week after two excellent results over Donna Vekic and Jelena Ostapenko and she will set a new career-high WTA world ranking of 11th no matter the outcome of this third meeting with Sakkari.
There is more than just a semi-final on the line here as the winner of this match will take the last remaining WTA Finals spot. Overall season form says Kudermetova can edge this likely thriller but Sakkari has beaten the Russian in their last two meetings to take a 2-1 lead in their head-to-head. The sensible way to avoid picking a winner is backing the Greek to earn at least a set given she is well-versed to facing a decider.
