Sherif has 1 career win over a top-10 player. Sherif has won 8 of her last 10 matches on clay court.
Garcia won the only meeting against Sherif, which was this year in Monterrey. The match was decided in straight sets and 16 games.
This is a breakthrough moment for Sherif, as it’s her first success in a WTA 1000. With that said, Garcia should put an end to it given the way she looked in her last outing and all of the free points she racked up with her serve. Sherif just doesn’t have enough big match experience or success against top tier players to continue this run.
Give me Garcia in straight sets for max betting value.
