Stan Wawrinka (-2.5) to beat Frances Tiafoe at 1.99 with Pinnacle

Su-Wei Hsieh (-2.5) to beat Vera Zvonareva at 1.80 with Bet365

Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova to beat Yulia Putinsteva at 1.57 with Pinnacle

Stan Wawrinka returns to the courts in Acapulco and I fancy him to win quite handily against Tiafoe, who hasn't really impressed me recently with his approach to first serves that simply aren't doing much and that should be costly against someone like Wawrinka unless he adjusts. Even if he does, Wawrinka is likely to be too strong. Meanwhile, I also fancy Hsieh to dispose of the ever-returning Zvonareva that can't really be trusted at all in my opinion despite beating Hsieh when the two met in 2018. Hsieh is playing throughout the year and Zvonareva should have trouble dealing with the slices with little match practice. Finally, I'm going to back the new-look Pavs that impressed in the Australian Open against Putinsteva, as her power should just be too much for the world's number 32. Pavs' new coach has taught her how to keep things under control errors-wise and that should be enough if she sticks to the game plan.
