Julia Goerges will take on Shahar Peer in round one of the WTA Paris OpenYou can watch and bet on Goerges v Peer live for free at bet365 > live tennisJulia Goerges appears to be playing well at the moment, and the fact that she came ever so close to denying Petra Kvitova a victory at the weekend is evidence that she could be a big threat this week in Paris. Whilst few people have come close to defeating the world No. 2 on an indoor hard court, Goerges pushed the Czech deep into a third set, and was perhaps unfortunate to lose 3-6, 6-3, 10-8.
Kvitova currently dominates the indoor scene in the WTA, but with Goerges coming so close, her performances here in Paris are worth keeping an eye on. The world No. 21 is a threat in almost any competition, but her exploits at the weekend suggest that she could be in with a serious title opportunity here. She’ll begin with a first round clash against Shahar Peer of Israel.
Peer should be competitive. She’s ranked inside the top forty, and at the age of 24, has already managed to achieve a lot on the WTA Tour. She’s a five-time WTA title winner, and a former world No. 11. Still, she was soundly beaten by Goerges in the last meeting between the pairing, and she enters Tuesday’s matchup as the underdog.
