After reaching the final of the hard-court event in her homeland, Maria Sakkari has touched down in Canada, where she'll begin her WTA Toronto journey against Zeynep Sonmez. This looks like a nice opportunity for the world number 33 to make a positive start to the North American hard-court swing.
Of the two, Maria Sakkari is undoubtedly the superior hard-court player, there can be no denying that, so much so that she should be priced less generously to win this. If we consider just how dominant the Greek competitor was against her Turkish opponent when the pair met on this surface earlier in the year, then odds of -189 start to look too big to ignore. Sakkari could easily be -225 to win this, so while she's not, she goes down as a value pick.

Our Maria Sakkari vs Zeynep Sonmez Prediction
Maria Sakkari hasn't played since losing in the final of a WTA event in Athens last month, but she displayed excellent form at that tournament and arrives here well rested. She's a very strong hard-court player in general, with her showing more than enough recent quality on the surface to suggest that she's a little generously priced to get the better of an inferior competitor like Zeynep Sonmez, who has struggled to really get going against higher-ranked opponents on this surface in recent times.
