In Rabat on Saturday, it's time for the final of the WTA event. Anhelina Kalinina and Petra Marcinko will lock horns. In the early betting, it is Kalinina who is the big favorite, and she's strongly fancied on the strength of four straight-set wins since landing in Morocco. Petra Marcinko hasn't won all four of her matches in straight sets, but she has picked up three straight-set wins, so this is far from a foregone conclusion.
To be honest, there may not be as much between these two as the early betting suggests. Sure, Kalinina has thrived in Rabat, but so has Marcinko, so much so that she can outperform her odds and make this a tougher test for the Ukrainian than the early odds suggest. Betting on the Croat to, if nothing else, avoid a straight-set defeat makes plenty of sense at odds of -143.
