Tennis Betting Tips: Swiatek to storm to the semi-finals in Bad Homburg

It's back to the drawing board for me as after making improvements with my tennis selections on Tuesday, Wednesday was a hammer blow with zero of my tips landing. 

I return for Thursday's action determined to get back on track, and I've picked out three matches from across WTA Bad Homburg and ATP Mallorca. Check out my Tennis Betting Tips below.

Set Betting - Iga Swiatek to beat Ekaterina Alexandrova 2-0 @ 8/5

I correctly tipped Iga Swiatek to prevail in straight sets against Victoria Azarenka on Tuesday, and I am going back to the Pole to accomplish the same feat on Thursday.

She's in quarter-final action against Ekaterina Alexandrova at Bad Homburg, and this is another test she should be able to overcome with little fuss. Her victory over Azarenka was impressive as she demonstrated her clinical abilities, which was too much for the two-time Grand Slam champion to handle.

And now another last-eight clash on grass awaits her. Alexandrova likes to play on this surface but her strengths are limited. While Swiatek's best tennis isn't usually shown on grass, she is still a tricky opponent on any surface.

She looked sharp in the last round and I think this can lead to another routine victory for her.

Match Betting - Emma Navarro to beat Jessica Pegula @ 11/8

Staying in Bad Homburg, the most exciting clash of the day sees an all-American clash between Jessica Pegula and Emma Navarro - the only top-10 battle of the quarter-finals.

Surprisingly, this is only the second meeting between the two stars, with Pegula winning the previous encounter in Miami last year. Navarro has come a long way since then as she has enjoyed a rapid rise up the WTA rankings. She has developed a strong game that is universal to all surfaces, but she is very much enjoying her tennis on grass.

Her record on this surface is 18-8, which is very respectable. This is a tough contest to call because Pegula is still a threat, especially if she is at the top of her game. However, seeing the progress Navarro has made since they last played, I think she may just edge this match which may just go the distance.

Match Betting - Roberto Bautista Agut to beat Alex Michelsen @ 10/11

Over in Mallorca, Alex Michelsen and Roberto Bautista Agut go head-to-head in the quarter-finals, which is another interesting match-up on paper. The two have never met previously on court, which should make this tussle that more exciting.

Agut is making his fourth consecutive appearance in the quarter-finals at this event and while this season has mostly been a forgettable one, being back on grass has appeared to give him the boost he has desperately needed.

The Spaniard's run to the semi-finals at Queen's earlier this month caught the eye, as he posted some impressive victories, including against Danish star Holger Rune. Michelsen will present him with a challenge as the American also enjoys playing on this surface.

This is another match I can see going the distance but I think Agut's vast experience might just be the difference here.
