2019 Thailand Open Round of 32
Garbine Muguruza vs Sabine Lisicki
- When: Tuesday, Jan. 29, 2019. 4:00 am ET
- Tennis Betting Odds: Muguruza -700 / Lisicki +500
Garbine Muguruza made it all the way to Round 4 at the Australian Open. She beat Saisai Zheng 6-2, 6-3 in Round 1. In Round 2, she took down her opponent 6-4, 6-7 (3-7), 7-5, and then in Round 3, she beat Timea Bascinsky 7-6 (7-5) 6-2. However, Garbine ran into tough Karolina Pliskova in Round 4. Pliskova handled Muguruza 6-3, 6-1.
Muguruza’s opponent on Tuesday morning, Sabine Lisicki, should make for an easy win. Lisicki hasn’t yet played in a tournament this year. She only played in 28 matches last year. The year before, she only played in 14.
Garbine rolls to an easy win.
