Looking and Gibbs's form, it's clear she is in better form than Kovinic. After Wimbledon, Nicole went back home and got her momentum at the ITF tournaments. She got two finals in a row, took 1 title, passed the Cincinnati qualifications and reached the third round of US Open two weeks later. True, she was eliminated in qualifications in New Haven and last week in Hong Kong but that doesn't erase her string of excellent results on hard court in the past two months. She passed the qualifications here in Seoul and then beat the defending champions Watson as the outsider. She will reach Top 100 next week and that's no coincidence. Gibbs has been laying well lately while the Montenegrin has lost her form, particularly upon arrival to hard court where Gibbs has shown the most. Kovnić was eliminated in the first round of Istanbul, Baku, Tashkent and the first round of US Open qualifications. She was the favorite in 3 out of 4 matches, and the absolute favorite in 2, so it's no point saying who's in better form. She did pass the qualifications but she was a bit lucky in the third set of the first round. Gibbs has shown much more and she should win today. I'll go with a smaller stake as I don't like going for handicaps in women's tennis as they are prone to losing a set by 6-0. I will take this small handicap, but you can also use the American as a solid combo material. The odds @1.50-1.55 are pretty good and I think they're worth a moderate stake in a combo.
