WTA - SINGLES: St. Petersburg (Russia), hard (indoor) - 1/16-finals
Azarenka Victoria - Gasparyan Margarita
Azarenka Victoria @ 1.83 - 2.00
I expect Azarenka to win because
Azarenka (51) is higher in ranking than Gasparyan (81)
Azarenka won more hardcourt games (percentage-wise) in 2018 (6/12) than Gasparyan (8/24)
Both are russian speakers so no one will feel a foreigner (still advantage for Gasparyan because of her residence in Russia)
Odds on Azarenka decreases on most of the bookmakers
I haven't seen Gasparyan's last games but, as I know, she had a knee injury at the end of last year. Probably it won't influence a lot, but still, good to know.
