2.75Stephens to win

Collins is on a six-match winning streak since the clay tournament in Palermo, where she won five matches in a row. But American player still lacks consistency. She also doesn't have an advantage in class over Stephens. We don't think that Sloane deserved an underdog status in this match, so we offer to take the risk and place a bet on Stephens to win.
