In the Greek capital of Athens, we've reached the quarter finals. Fighting for a place in the final four on Friday will be Alycia Parks and Maria Sakkari. These two players will clash for the third time as professionals, clashing also for the third time on a hard surface. Can the American competitor make it three wins from three against her Greek opponent?
Quite simply, the early betting market seems to be focusing too heavily on the fact that Maria Sakkari is playing on home soil. Sure, the Greek player does have the support of the crowd, and she is playing well, but she's up against a very capable hard-court opponent, a player who knows how to make life hard for Sakkari. Parks also looks in decent form, and given that she's not once but twice beaten Friday's opponent, she looks too generously priced. The best option is to bet on the American to avoid a straight-set defeat.

Our Alycia Parks vs Maria Sakkari Prediction
Given that Alycia Parks has not exactly made a habit of losing in straight sets on hard courts in recent times, she really does look generously priced here. As touched on above, the early betting market is too concerned with the fact that Maria Sakkari is playing well on home soil, so much so that the fact that the Greek player is up against an American who has twice come out on top when the pair have met on hard courts, is being ignored.
Considering both her record against Sakkari and her recent hard-court record in general, Parks is well worth betting on to get competitive here.
