Katrina Scott vs Ekaterina Maklakova
Thursday's ITF W75 Nonthaburi event features a first-round clash between American Katrina Scott and Russia's Ekaterina Maklakova. The moneyline odds, averaging 1.32 for Scott and 2.98 for Maklakova across numerous bookmakers, clearly position the American as the substantial favorite.
