Pick 5: Alison Riske ML -200

Alison is taking Jaqueline Cristian in the final of the WTA Linz tournament. It is uncommon for an American tennis player travelling outside the country at this time of the tennis season unless she needs ranking points. That`s why Alison headed up to Austria in order to improve her rankings on a surface that she plays skillyfully. Similar to grass courts, Riske can return the balls behind the baseline and take them early on the second serve of the opponents which is a massive advantage for a player in indoors.

Allie has displayed great performances so far by beating all her opponents in straight sets. I believe this form will show up in the final as well and Riske will win this tournament. Cristian came to the deciding match as a Lucky Loser and got a free ticket to Final without playing semis after Halep`s retirement before the match. I have noted this achievement but I think it is better to go with Riske4rewards in the final match!
